The sauna is markets itself as "We never close" and is open 24 hours all year including Bank Holidays.
History
The sauna opened as a gay sex on premises venue or gay bathhouse in 1998.
In 2002, Pleasuredrome was central to an unfair dismissal case where a Managing Director had been followed by private detectives going to the sauna. He won his case in 2003.
A claim of rape by an 18 year old in 2006, against a 24 year old, resulted in a police investigation and the closure of the sauna for a day. The police did not proceed with any prosecution.
