Does this list still apply today? Want to visit some gyms with communal showers in London. Not for any dodgy reasons, just find it liberating, as its the only place you can be comfortable naked without it being a sexual environment

I swear that they have cubicles there?

Heres what I know as of now,

Porchester Center/Spa has large open showers on the wet side (not sure about dry)/
Marshal Street has open showers on the wet side (dry side is currently being refurbished so I think they're putting cubicles in there).
Oasis sports centre wet side still has open showers, but apparently that's going to change?

?

Dry side was refurbished recently (at the same time as the wet) and the open showers were kept but Marshal St was quite new so if they are refitting showers there it's worrying - Chelsea also has open showers on both wet and dry side and there are plans there to have a "changing village" so not even a men's changing room - this costs an absolute fortune there must be a better use of money than refitting changing rooms

Marshall st is all good,, still terrific open showers, with lots of big cock swinging around to appreciate.
Spa is worth a visit there too,,, men only on a Monday and wednesday morning,, but lots of hot guys there other times too,, Saturday afternoon studs are worth checking out!

New here, but prefer open showers in gyms or pools..so many cubicles are too small anyway - and it's nice to shower openly with other nude men - makes me feel better about my body image. Plus it would help people be less uptight in general about how they look, at least IMHO.

I was at the Fitness First just off Carnaby Street (it's on Kingly Stree) last week and it has cubicles, as do all the other Fitness First's in London I've used.

It seems many of the 'Better' gym chain have cubicles too - the Olympic Park Pool has a changing village, but it does have single sex changing areas and showers within those areas. The problem is there's NO lockers inside them. So there's no safe way to lock up your clothes etc. while you're having a proper (i.e. naked) shower.

The Better Gym in Leytonstone - changing village for the pool - but has a seperate changing area for men / women by the gym. There are some open showers (a row of 3 or 4 shower heads) but has cubicles as well. Again, there's NO lockers inside those areas. Only hooks. I'm not leaving my clothes and stuff unattended while I shower.

Better Gym - Jubilee Hall - shower cubicles only and they are a bit narrow. There's a sauna in there but never seen anyone use it naked.

Obviously, gay saunas have open showers....

The ULU nude swim still goes on but I've never done it.

Gwat, the Showers at St George's Pool in Shadwell are open. Muscle Bull Gym in Bermondsey has open showers and
there were open showers at University of London Union gym but not sure if they kept them or not...

Have you been to Bull Muscle Gym? It's apparently a men only 'inclusive' i.e. 'gay' gym. Looks great. Am going to give it a try.
