Finding a shower in London is easier than you might think. The city has an extensive network of borough-run leisure centres-most operated by Better, GLL, or Everyone Active-where you can walk in and pay for a swim or gym session that includes shower access.
If you're passing through and just need a quick wash, the areas around major transport hubs are your best bet. Victoria Coach Station, King's Cross, and Liverpool Street all have facilities nearby. Several hostels in these areas also offer shower access to non-guests for a few pounds, which can be a lifesaver after an overnight journey.
Budget gym chains like PureGym and The Gym Group have locations across the city with 24-hour access, though getting a day pass can be tricky-they're set up for memberships. For a guaranteed shower without commitment, stick to the council leisure centres.
Good to know: Council leisure centres typically charge £5-10 for a swim session which includes changing room access. Arrive early on weekday mornings for the quietest experience.

London facilities operate year-round with consistent hours. The city gets busy, so arriving before 9am or after 7pm at leisure centres means shorter queues for showers. Most facilities accept card payments, but a few older centres are cash-only for casual visits.
The Oasis Sports Centre in Covent Garden has a heated outdoor pool and is one of the few places in central London where you can swim outdoors year-round.
