It is a University of London Building based close to the UCL, Birkbeck and SOAS campuses. It allows anyone to join the gym, but to access the shower area you need to be part of the gym. It also has a large swimming pool.

Where exactly
Travelling to ULU by tube:Northern Line to Euston, Warren Street and Goodge Street stations. Piccadilly Line to Russell Square station. Victoria Line to Euston and Warren Street stations. Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City Lines to Euston Square station. Travelling to ULU by bus:Gower Street: 10, 24, 29, 73, 134, 390 Euston Road: 18, 30, 91, 205, 253, 476 Woburn Place/Southampton Row: 59, 68, 91, 168, 188. Once inside, go down the steps into the gym, and then a further flight of stairs to the male changing room.
When to go
Mon to Fri 07:30 - 22:00 Sat 09:00 - 19:00 Sun 09:00 - 19:00 There are no specific times, but it seems close to closing time on Monday-Friday.
Etiquette
There are 6/7 cubicle showers, and 5 open air ones, there are also 4 changing room areas. The one nearest to the toilets gives you the best view to those going to the showers and those to the toilet. The furthermost shower in the corner is the best for this type of gym, and the toilets are pretty sound as well. Due to gym membership being discounted for students/staff, it is mainly men that are part of a university.
Nudity: Nudity is allowed (after all, it is a gym changing room!). However, I would not recommend having in the locker areas as it is hugely exposing.
Safety
No real threat, no cameras (that I'm aware of), and never really aware of any staff.
