We did a sauna trail on the Christmas Eve. It is a tradition to have sauna on the Christmas Eve in Finland. We are amazed how many saunas have opened in South London this year. There are 10 saunas on the trail and each of them around 10 minute bike ride from each other. Some of them not open on Xmas eve. We managed to visit four saunas on Christmas Eve, as listed below. We hope to complete the rest some other time. We shared home made spiced apple infusion with the apple from our garden, cloves, star anise, ginger, orange peel. Delivering delicious festive löyly.
Thanks to all the saunas who hosted us.
We started with The Cabin sauna in Clapham Common, Brixton Rooftop sauna, Community Sauna Baths Camberwell in Ruskin park and ended with the newest, the Old Kent Road Sauna at AMP studio. Thanks to Quas refreshing kvass drink, you can now sample them at OKR Sauna.
Great to see Emma and Lassi’s books on display in the saunas.
Wish you all a good löyly year ahead!
