Place like Play Pit in London?

Options are becoming more limited as places close. I really miss PlayPit and The Fort. Today, similar options are central station's underground club but check what's on - for a playpit like vibe,  try "Pants". "SOP" gets very sleazy, but that's a yellow themed party so not everyones taste.  

Vault 139 is a less sleazy option - there's a distinct 'after work' crowd in the early evening and then a later crowd. My pet peeve is the after work guys don't clean out at all and that can ruin everyone's fun. 

Other than that, the smaller saunas like Locker Room, Sailors, etc have a more playpit like vibe. 

Hope that helps?

Very helpful, thanks!

Also Backstreet in Mile End, and the (relatively new) Bunker Bar on City Road.  Themes/events vary very much on a night by night basis: naked nights are usually the most popular events these days.  I think that’s Wednesdays at both those venues, but check their websites.

For consistently large numbers of guys, it has to be the Vault on naked nights (Mondays and Thursdays), and SBN on Sunday afternoons.

The Play Pit was before my time, so I can’t really compare- but it’s still possible to have plenty of sleazy bb sex in London, if you plan your availability around the cruise bars’ listed schedule of events.

Yeah -I agree about the numbers...  I excluded SBN from my recommendations etc because Playpit was a small venue - like someone's apartment - and therefore the crowd was pretty small/intimate/friendly. Some of the bigger clubs may have tons more guys but its not the same up for it atmosphere that playpit had in my experience.

I miss the Fort. It was the right size and sleazy.

The Fort was like a Berlin bar with bareback while having a pint, sling under a spotlight, packed darkroom and sleazy toilets.
Plus boots-only made guys drop attitudes at the front door and just fuck (or get fucked) for hours - mostly raw, raw, raw.

It was a fantastic place.

The other evening I found a couple of videos on PornHub that were filmed in the old PlayPit behind the E.T. Baker shopfront before it moved further North up the Caledonian Road. They're long videos - both about 1h40. It was quite nostalgic seeing the play spaces I remember. But the real surprise was recognising some of the guys in it... and it left me wondering "where are they now". 

I'll post links to the videos in the "Bareback Porn Discussion" to avoid getting an infraction.

Some guys used to be on Recon and BBRT. Even Gaydar! But lost touch over time.
There was a big overlap with Fort, Hoist, Hardon, saunas and cruising.
But there were also new guys and married dicks to ride raw.
I had a PlayPit+ card for specialist nights ;-)

Yep - I used to love the Fort too.  An amazing place to load holes.  Very happy memory of standing at the bar drinking a pint, with a cocksucker on his knees deepthroating me for all to see.  The place was sleazy as fuck.  I miss it.

Same here. It’s hard to convey to anyone who never went just how sleazy it was. And yet, I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced anywhere that had the same camaraderie as The Fort had. As I’ve written elsewhere, there was a complete lack of pretence, bullshit or attitude.

It kinda feels like over the last few years since laws and attitudes relaxed all the fun of cruise bars and back-rooms has gone. I used to spend many a happy night at bars like The Fallen Angel in E17 downing a few pints of lager then popping upstairs to suck and fuck the night away in the dark.
