Sweat, chill, and socialise: London’s first sustainable sauna brings wellness to Peckham

London’s wellness scene has taken a sustainable turn with the launch of the Sauna Social Club in Peckham, the city’s first dedicated sauna and ambient listening space. Combining saunas, ice baths, and curated soundscapes, this innovative venue offers a fresh alternative to traditional social spaces, promoting relaxation, connection, and sustainability.

The importance of saunas for wellbeing

Saunas have long been recognised for their health benefits. Regular sauna use can improve circulation, reduce stress, and support the immune system. The combination of heat exposure followed by cold therapy—like ice baths—helps to boost endorphins, relax muscles, and improve mental clarity. Beyond the physical benefits, saunas also provide a calming environment for reflection and social connection.

Sustainability at the Sauna Social Club

What sets the Sauna Social Club apart is its commitment to sustainability. The club has integrated eco-conscious practices into its design and operations, ensuring minimal environmental impact. By using energy-efficient heating systems, eco-friendly materials, and offering low-waste refreshments like alcohol-free cocktails and herbal teas, the club aligns relaxation with responsible living.
