New Docklands Steam Club Experience

Not a gay venue as such but depending on what day you go, lots of opportunities to score. Customer-to-customer massage is encouraged. Very East End traditional. Can be intimidating at first but friendly if you make the effort to talk to people. Sunday is the most gay-friendly day. If you are wanting full-on gay action, forget it: overt displays are frowned upon. However, if you are discreet, you will find plenty going on under the surface with many handsome straight guys you would never meet in a gay venue. Many will be open to give or receive full body massages - and maybe more.

The guide

Where exactly

A bit off the beaten track but that is part of its charm. Details here: http://www.newdocklands.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=19

When to go

Sundays, Thursdays best days for gay stuff. You can be there from 9am - 9pm if you want. Saturdays can be a rough, intimidating straight crowd. Best times: update 6/4/2008: fyi - Wedsdays is womans day.

Etiquette

There are four steam rooms of varying heat plus two sauna cabins and a plunge pool. Upstairs a very old-fashioned lounge are with food available, telly (usually sport on and DEF no gay ).

Nudity: Nudity optional. Many guys bollock-naked, some in swimwear. Most will remove swimwear when you massage them. Overt behaviour not encouraged - it spoils the ambiguity of the place - but plenty going on if you are careful.

Safety

There can be rough and unwelcoming straight element on some days - particularly Friday/Saturdays. Avoid them and gravitate to more obviously kindred spirits. But much of the intimidating behaviour is men being men so don't give in to it!
