I put together a Beginners Guide to SOP based on some of the comments posted here and some of my own observations. There is reference to an activity that's not allowed on here.  Also reference to drugs use that would usually only be in the Backroom section of the Forum. Again it's in the context of the venue's rules.

I hope mods will allow mention of it in this context as it is part of the rules of the venue. I appreciate though it may be edited out but please don't give me points!

 

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SOP

Entrance is via the grey door,  next to metal stairs. Postcode is N1 9SD.
Go downstairs, pay (cash only), say yes to a binbag (handy for wet clothes when you leave), and yes to a little plastic bag to keep your cloakroom ticket and cash dry!

The bar does take contactless as well as cash.

Go inside, and to the left of the bar, there are some seats that are used as the changing area. When you're changed, take your stuff back to the cloakroom, and they'll give you your cloakroom ticket 

If you're a smoker, you need to get dressed again (or at least suitably cover up!) and go back outside to the street. Just say to the cloakroom guy why you need your stuff back temporarily.

Dress code: there is none, although footwear must be worn. I've seen everything from full business suits to full rubber/leather/pup fetish to naked and everything in between. Whatever you wear (no cross-dressing though!) you won't look out of place. I would say the majority of guys are just in socks, jock and harness or sports kit, but by the end of the night most people are naked!

For a newbie, I would suggest you get a drink from the bar and just observe for a bit to get a feel for the place and what's going on. You can play anywhere in the venue, and the only thing that's not officially allowed is scat, although I have seen it done discretely! 

It's highly unlikely that anyone will just randomly approach you and start pissing over you. They'll usually give you some sort of indication that that's what they want to do, and if you're not interested, just say no! Although you do get the occasional pushy person, I think it's the most attitude free venue I know of.

In the main room with the bar, there are stools around the edge of the room and ledges to leave your drink. There is a large paddling pool in the centre. The seats and beer kegs to the right of the bar seem to be where guys get a little bit more hard core - I've seen fisting going on there!

Off the main room are two areas - a dark room and a not quite so dark room that has the sling. If you're using the sling, please don't monopolise it. In the dark room, you are more likely to get caught in the crossfire by random sprays of piss.

The toilets are next to where you got changed. There are no showers, so bring a small towel and maybe a pack of baby wipes to clean up when you're ready to leave. And please don't spray deodorant until you get back to the top of the stairs or until after you've left as it really carries with it being such a small venue.

The toilet area is quite a small area, and all sorts go on in there! It can get quite crowded, especially towards the end of the night when guys that haven't yet cum want to shoot their load before leaving.

There is a metal trough and one stall (officially only one person allowed in the stall at any one time). You'll often see pint glasses in the trough waiting to be filled, guys rolling around on the piss covered floor, fucking, fisting and group spraying, to name but a few activities. It's here that you may see some surreptitious "dirty play" going on, disguised as a rimming session!

Usually the first couple of hours are relatively quiet but I think on re=opening day it will be busy from the start. In the past, there always seemed to be two "shifts." There would be the guys who came in towards the start and would leave early evening, and then the guys who would arrive around teatime and stay until late, with a bit of a crossover between the two shifts.

Couple of extra things to mention...

Poppers are sold at the bar, and condoms and lube are available free of charge, although the majority of guys BB*. If you don't BB stick to your principles and don't feel pressurised. 

Also, if chems are your thing, not only are they banned from the club, you'd be unlikely to get away with taking anything in the venue as it's such an open place with nowhere to be unobserved. If seen by the management you will be reported to the Police.

If you do decide to go, then let me know, and I'll keep an eye out for you, so at least there's one person you can talk to!

I think that just about covers things, but if you do have any questions, then just ask away. Feel free to  message me privately.

*the guide was written originally for a different group but the point still stands!

Really useful post, thank you! Haven’t done something like this since Yellow night at Lab, and been tempted for a while. Up in London this weekend so may try and check it out, just dubious about having pissy clothes & shoes hanging around the hotel until I head home Tuesday 

Tele - ashtroturf 

Anyone around for the next few weeks?

Heading there tomorrow - let me know if you’re in Bangkok or Thailand - travelling around for a few weeks

Message if you want my session id 

Anyone else heading there for Xmas? Would be good to get a hot prvy session going

For gloryhole action I’d avoid sweat box. There’s a few gloryhole booths but def not private (non locking doors so people just walk in)

175 - need to work on it!

Going to head there the afternoon of 11/11. Anyone knows what it’s like on a sat with bi day? Anyone want to load me?

Anyone else around Bangkok/Phuket for Xmas/new year 2023? Would be hot to hook up / share 😈

Certainly the number of guys visiting from further afield for studland is cutting down, may get a few more for this weekend though, as weather’s looking good. Not a huge amount going on in bournemouth, gay scene pretty shite, though there’s still one sauna and a far bars/clubs

Any guys in or around Dorset? Up for pretty much anything - let me know

Depends where you go, there’s a bit of filtered red light towards the entrance, but there’s nooks where it’s just black 

Headed to the Sweatbox sauna in London on Sunday night - don’t visit London often and was looking forward to this. Headed down to the dark room and after a bit of wanking and sucking felt a guy start to gently finger me. Ended up being bent over and taking my first anon load. Saw him leave the area afterwards and was a well muscled black guy - definitely one to remember! He nutted in me then I felt someone finger me again and someone had a go after. Think it was only the one load, but hot taking my first anon load 😈

Ended up being free later than planned so gonna go to sweatbox tonight rather than SOP, if anyone wants to dump a load 😉

Actually it's not that bad - guys drink a lot of water/beer so it's all really diluted. There is only a smell if you don't wash your gear out and leave it. Take a change of clothes/shoes, a small towel, a bag to put anything wet in (they will give you one if you ask) and if you're really paranoid, a can of Lynx/Axe (but please use it outside the venue).  I've been going for a long time and have to take uber, train and bus to get there.  Never had a comment or bad uber rating on the way home.  

Ah that’s perfect advice, thanks! Can’t wait to give it a shot

Great intel, thanks. Heading to Thailand for 3 weeks over Xmas. Gutted Babylon has closed in bkk though

Cheers for the advice. If it’s starting that early then I probably won’t be able to make it, so will go for vault instead

Fair, I appreciate that. But how does clean up work if there’s no shower facilities? Don’t fancy riding the tube smelling of piss, let alone in these temps 😆

I’ve never been to the underground club, but I am into ws so might have to look into that. I’ve got some questions about the logistics of a ws night but sure there’s a post on here somewhere for that! Cheers for your guidance

Ah interesting, thanks for the advice! Never done SBN and always had the impression it was a bit more complicated to get into? I’ll possibly be free Sunday night so shall look into it - cheers

I’m visiting London for work next weekend. I’ve often topped (and sucked) in venues like vault and sweatbox but never really taken anon loads as a btm. I’m naturally a bit shy and anxious and just wondered if there’s any tip for this kind of thing, particularly these venues. Open to recommendations if there are better though!

Any guys here up for breeding me? Or any recommendations for places with good action? Visiting Puerto de la Cruz
