GAY SAUNA AND ESCORT IN LONDON

[pauleiro]

Hi

I am planning to go to London and experience a nice gay sauna and a nice escort or a nice gay show. Can you recommend some places, guys , Thanks.

I was thinking of going to Chariots Shoreditch. Is it a good idea ?

Not sure if you are concerned about the quality of Chariots or going to Shoreditch.

 

As far as quality goes, it has a small gym area but a reasonable size swimming pool in addition to the plunge pool. As well as the sauna cabins there are individual cubicles to "rest" in. It is a very large sauna as far as London is concerned.

 

The sauna is a short walk from Liverpool Street station. Shoreditch is a trendy area with an "arty" feel to parts, especially those near the sauna.

 

Another you might like to look at is Pleasuredrome. This is close to Waterloo station and is fairly big. No swimming pool or extensive gym area but it has an interesting "maze" to relax in. Take the "Old Vic" exit which is also signposted as the "Waterloo East" exit (Trains terminate at Waterloo but a small East station next door is a stop for trains terminating at Charing Cross that also pass through London Bridge) Cross the main road from Waterloo to Waterloo East and go down the small street on the river side (go under the bridge towards the Imax cinema) Pleasuredrome is in a couple of the arches under the railway line. I believe it is open 24 hours as opposed to Chariots whcih have varying times, usually 12 midday to 8 or 9 am.

 

Both these saunas have web sites. Chariots also has other branches and some hold special events.

Not sure what you mean by "gay show". Many gay pubs have entertainment which is usually either a drag act or stipper (full nudity usually) Details are listed in QX for the following week (Thursday to Wednesday)

 

G-A-Y. a large disco club, often has a big-name mainstream act on Saturdays. http://www.g-a-y.co.uk

 

Heaven, a very big gay disco club has shows infrequently. These can be burlesque type erotic dance acts linked to the theme for the night or mainstream act.

 

These two are in the Charing Cross area.

 

One of the traditional drag act pubs is the Black Cap in Camden. http://www.theblackcap.com

 

The White Swan pub has a stripper plus an amateur stripper competition on Wednesday nights and drag or strippers other nights. It is a very short walk from Limehouse DLR station. http://www.bjswhiteswan.com

 

The Black Cap and White Swan are close to central London and stations. Both are on or close to night bus routes which will take you back into town if the tubes have closed when you leave.

 

The Soho gay village has Madam Jo-Jos (check for current shows) and there are other clusters of pubs with shows near Vauxhall and Earls Court tube stations. Again, both are on the night bus network. Any late night place is likely to have an arrangement with a "minicab" service which will be cheaper than a black cab and easier to get after the tubes have closed.

 

 

There are other threads about escorts but a good start are the QX magazine site which has a selection of guys whose ads are also in the magazine. .pdf files are accessed from: http://www.qxmagazine.com/about.htm

 

This also lists the week's events under the other headings.

 

Gaydar has a good selection on http://www.gaydar.co.uk. You will need to register (free for access with some limitations on the number of messages you can send to other users with the messaging system) You can also pre-notify your visit to see if anyone is interested in meeting up. You will need to post a fuller profile for guys to see if they are interested if you want to use this with any prospect of a hook-up.

 

Note that in the last couple of days they seem to have changed the left-hand side menu to exclude the "commercial" option. This used to be "escorts/masseurs" but some other services like artwork sales are also on there now. Access it from the main menu. You can either view all the guys in a particular area or just see those who are on line. To omplicate things, many have broadband so may not be at their computer. Also check the "London General" area as well as "London Central" as guys tend to use this if they do outcalls even if they do incalls in central London.

 

If you know the address of the place you are staying, you can also use the full postcode to find how far they are. These distances are "as the crow flies" so be careful if you look at guys on the other side of the Thames. It only works if they have entered THEIR full postcode. This will be something like "SW1P 8AL" or "E1 2FE" and defines part of a street or major building like an apartment block or hotel, unlike US zipcodes which define far bigger areas like towns. To use this go to "search...distance" in the left hand menu and register the location.

 

Postcodes are also handy for using on-line maps. One is at http://www.multimap.com/map/home.cgi?client=public&overviewmap=GB&lang=

Woowww Londonbear, thank you for these comments. I decided to go to Chariots Shoreditch sauna and enjoyed some great time there. There were boys and men of all ages, some cuties, somes oldies, but nice time there and nice swimming pools and sauna.

I spent the other day in the Villa Gianni, in the ass of a guy who happened to be French (Laurent,22 years) Is was my first visit to the Villa Gianni. I was a bit surprised by the looks of some boys, (lots of tattoos, somehow older that advertised or at least that I had understood ..) which is not the impression I had. I had a nice time there too.

One small correction, Londonbear. While what you said may be true of the American five digit zip code, if you are using the complete nine digit zip code, it will tighten down to no more than half a block, probably only one building.
