About Community Sauna Baths Peckham
The two saunas have names. Elspeth is entered up a ramp and has benches 70 cm off the floor, while Beryl is reached by two steps to a porch and has benches on two levels. The site began as a pop-up in Glengall Wharf Garden and later won planning permission to stay. The toilet is a compost toilet, and bikes lock to racks inside the garden.
