Best current darkroom/gloryhole? London 5-12 Nov

[NutBucketDC]

In London to see friends - and take as many loads as I can - 5-12 Nov. 

i love darkrooms and gloryholes (in addition to being ass up in my hotel room) - any suggestions welcome. Staying covent garden area. 
thanks!

True darkrooms don’t seem to exist in London anymore, and gloryholes have become something of a rarity too. Even where they do exist, guys don’t seem to use them: we don’t have the ABS culture over here, and gloryholes seem to have slipped from the public consciousness. Your best bets for sleazy fun are Vault139 (not too far from Covent Garden), and perhaps the Bunker Bar further east. Both do have gloryhole cubicles, but whether you’ll get much action in them is another matter. Check their websites first: they both have different themes/dress codes depending on the night. Naked nights are always the most fun, at the Vault at least.
 

Sweatbox sauna is probably your best option if that’s your thing- that’s also quite close to Covent Garden.

I haven't been for ages, but E15 certainly possessed a true darkroom. The only annoying thing back in 2019 is it tended to be visited once an hour by attendants cleaning it up and disrupting anyone enjoying the dark!

That would be annoying - they turned the lights on to clean??
