Why “Lowlu”?

löyly

/ˈløy.ly/ · noun · Finnish

The steam that rises when water meets hot stones — and the feeling that follows. Your shoulders drop. Your jaw unclenches. The noise in your head just… stops.

Lowlu sauna cabin under festoon lights

Designed by Sami Rintala — the architect behind Oslo's SALT and floating saunas across Scandinavia.

Founders Sami Rintala and Tom Bacon bring real Finnish pedigree to London. Sami is widely considered one of the world's best sauna designers; Tom is a Brit who moved to Helsinki, fell for sauna culture volunteering at Sompasauna, and brought it home. Their mission: make sauna culture accessible to the world, one sauna at a time.

Your first visit

Never done it? Perfect.

Sessions suit every level. There's no set time in the sauna and no obligation to plunge. You set the pace.

  1. 1

    Check in

    Book on the app or here. Show your booking, grab a locker, rinse off.

  2. 2

    Heat

    Settle onto your towel. Around ten minutes in, everything slows down.

  3. 3

    Cold

    Step into the plunge. Seconds or minutes — your call. Everything sharpens.

  4. 4

    Rest

    Sit in the open air, sip some water. Then go again, as many rounds as you like.

What to bring

  • Two towels

    One to sit on in the sauna, one for showering after.

  • Water bottle

    Hydration matters between rounds. Refill stations on every site.

  • Swimwear

    Required. Flip flops help. Loose layers for the rest periods.
