6 Bedford Street, City of Westminster Wheelchair: No / No; steps down into the gym
What changed?
The guide
Where exactly
Nearest tube/rail Charing Cross. Come out of Charing Cross station, turn right to go east along the Strand, then left into Bedford Street.
When to go
Weekdays 0630-2100, weekends 1000-1700. Best times: generally always good, but the rush hours between 1700 and 1900 mean that there's often too many people to get anything going.
Etiquette
Showers and sauna in the men's changing room. Frosting has come off on showers so you can see into the next cubicle, and the sauna is where most of the action happens.
Nudity: Nudity in changing rooms. You're meant to wear a towel in the sauna but most guys just loosen it and let it cover the bare essentials!
Safety
Although it's about 90% gay guys use this gym, there is the odd straight man around so the usual discretion applies. Pet peeves include guys who are clearly there to cruise but won't get anything going, and guys who make it so obvious that they're cruising (going in and out of the sauna every 2 mins) that they risk drawing attention to it and spoiling everyone's fun.
