Riverside saunas across the UK

Secret Sauna is a wood-fired cabin on a private island in the River Waveney at Wainford and The Silo near Bungay, with river-dip steps and a year-round cold bucket shower for the contrast. Private slots for two to six adults run from £60 for one hour to £90 for three, with a campfire option and picnic packages, plus women-only Evening Embers communal sessions and a Summer Solstice community event.

DRIP Saunas runs a pop-up, mobile-format sauna on the Coaling Jetty opposite Battersea Power Station's north entrance. It operates a limited season, so check the operator's site for current availability before travelling.

Wild Riverside Sauna is a seasonal pop-up at Barking Riverside in east London, listed on the British Sauna Society events calendar. Like most Thames pop-ups it moves and pauses between seasons, so verify current status before planning a visit.

TEMZ Floating Saunas is described as London's first floating sauna, a Scandinavian-style cabin operating on the Thames at The Lensbury in Teddington with sauna-and-ice-bath sessions and private hire. It offers the genuine on-the-water experience the land-based east London venues cannot, and sessions start from around £20.

Field Trip is a quiet wood-fired sauna set in woodland on the banks of the River Avon, around twenty minutes from central Bristol. It typically opens at weekends and takes private bookings, so it suits a planned trip, and the riverside setting is the main draw.

Leeds Community Sauna is the city's flagship: a community-owned venue running two wood-fired saunas with outdoor cold-water plunges among the trees beside the River Aire at Kirkstall Valley Farm, with seating and a drinks station for tea between rounds. Alongside communal sessions it runs quieter and themed hours including women-only, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-friendly slots, and a smaller mobile sauna travels to local festivals and events.
