A private rooftop spa in the heart of Brixton offers panoramic city views and serene cabins from £16.50 per person, according to a first-hand review. Located on the top floor of International House, a coworking space, the saunas sit just a five-minute walk from Brixton Tube station, providing an intimate escape from one of South London's busiest hubs.
Private cabins and amenities
The venue features four private cabins, each designed for couples or small groups. An 'Express' experience lasts 30 minutes and includes a private sauna room, cold plunge pools, waterfall buckets, and an indoor shower. Cabins are stocked with natural body wash and shampoo, so visitors need not bring toiletries.
For longer visits, guests booking 60-minute or 90-minute sessions access one of the other three cabins, which also include a private cool-down room with a mini-bar and free tea and coffee. Those indulging in the longer experiences will find essential oils and skincare botanicals in their cabin.
Finding the entrance
The reviewer noted that locating the entrance can be tricky, taking nearly 20 minutes despite familiarity with the area. The sauna is at the top of International House, directly behind Brixton Recreation Centre. Visitors should look for the red door to the left of the Marvin Gaye mural, ring the doorbell, then follow the path to the glass double doors and press a second doorbell. Once inside, a lift takes guests to the 11th floor, with a sign in the elevator indicating the correct button.
Pricing and nearby options
Prices vary by group size and time. A group of four visiting at 11am on a Sunday pays £24 each for a 60-minute session, while a midday Wednesday session costs £16.50 per person. Couples can expect to pay around £30 to £33 each. After the sauna, visitors can head to the adjacent rooftop restaurant, the Birds Nest, for pizzas and cocktails.
