The Sanctuary &Soul | Sauna & Wellness Studio

Features & Amenities

Read our guide to the best cold plunge & ice baths in London →

Reviewers consistently praise The Sanctuary & Soul as a full-spectrum wellness hub combining sauna, cold plunge, and movement classes in a genuinely grounded atmosphere. The standout draw is the guided breathwork and contrast-therapy sessions (particularly the 'Breath, Movement, Ice & Fire' class) led by attentive instructors. The on-site café, yoga and pilates studios, and strong community vibe make it worth the journey across London. Pricing is fair for the offering; many hold unlimited memberships and visit regularly.

From the owner

The Sanctuary AndSoul is an independent sauna and wellness house on Cheshire Street in Shoreditch, built around a 40-person amphitheatre sauna — the second-largest in London — running 60-90°C with towel-led aufguss rituals. Six ice baths sit between 4 and 15°C for contrast therapy. Alongside The Sensorium (the sauna and cold-plunge suite) the building holds a twelve-bed Reformer Pilates studio, a movement studio for yoga, breathwork and strength, Soul (a warehouse event space), and Palm Greens, a plant-based café. The bar is alcohol-free by design. We run Sauna Raves — guided heat, cold and live DJ sessions — and host aufguss events. First visit is £29 including sauna, cold plunge and a class; memberships from £99 a month. Open Mon-Fri 7am-10pm, Sat-Sun 8:45am-10pm. Booking online via Momence.
