The Finnish Sauna at London Festival of Architecture
Welcome to The Finnish Sauna, a unique sauna built for the heart of London.
The renowned Finnish architect Sami Rintala and architectural students from the University of Westminster, in association with the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland, have joined forces to create a one-of-a-kind sauna.
This remarkable collaboration is part of the London Festival of Architecture (opens a new window), a month-long celebration of architecture and city-making, taking place every June across London. The sauna will be on location from 29 June.
The Finnish Sauna will be open to the public from Thursday 30 June until Friday 8 July. The sessions are currently SOLD OUT.
