Was Rios in Kentish Town open prior to this national lockdown
Jump to: Newest in thread
Never been to Kestrels, but Rios is a naturist spa in Kentish Town. Mainly indoors, 2 hot tubs, pool, saunas and steam rooms, fairly small outdoor area (but certainly decent given location on a busy high street) and play rooms round the back. Whenever I have been during day, play is limited in public areas, but heard plenty goes on after hours |

Unsure whether we would enjoy Rios ... we would welcome the "wet venue" aspect but want to know about the patrons and the facilities (rooms/cabins) ... any feedback. Plus as a MILF kind of lady, would I rate with the crowd? x Anne |

"Only ever visited Kestrels. Was/is Rios similar? Weekdays during the day?"
If you’re used to kestrels ...I would suggest not to try Rios. You will be disappointed |

"Some lovely times at Rios but before the National Lockdown this month, was it open" . As far as I am aware Rios has been closed since the first lockdown in March 2020 and has been closed ever since

Much more of a spa than ab fabs, the saunas and steam rooms are great and in the evenings the big jacuzzi is fun.
More men, fewer girls and any major action is mostly behind closed doors although weekend evenings it is much more of a swingers venue. I love the place and often popped in lunchtimes and after work.
As a male it’s a great place to take someone but less likely as a place you will pick someone up for fun.
You would fit in just fine and be hugely popular with the clientele, they are an eclectic bunch. The guys tend to be respectful as much as anywhere but you will certainly be followed around a little. The staff are very good and quite visible but I’ve never seen anything they needed to react to.
The bar is a nice place to chill, as is the tv room (television in this case). The massages are top class, well priced and in my experience generally above board.
Opening hours are great, virtually all day and night, I think it closed midweek at 10 am and reopened an hour later. Certainly worth giving it a go if it ever reopens. One of my favourite haunts together with. ab fabs, the BFC and hellfire.
Have fun stay safe xx |

I’ve been to both, often. I love both places and honestly couldnt choose. It depends how you want to spend your time.
Everyone has there (totally valid) opinion but if you ask specific questions I’m sure you will be able to come to a conclusion of wether it’s potentially for you.
Better still visit once it opens and reach your own conclusions. Sometimes you need to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince, and some frogs are excellent (french) kissers.
Stay safe have fun Lance x |

As a lady you do get a lot of looks.
And people will knock a lot on the doors at the back.
But I’m lost in the moment so don’t notice.
Only once had a problem and security quickly sorted it.
And a good cup of tea as well. |

Always made my day when they had digestives rather than the alternative. Nothing better than a lazy afternoon or evening at Rios, I do hope it reopens. There is a reason places survive as long as it has. |

I think one of the reasons Rios has survived so long is it has been there since the 70’s I use to drive pass it between 1987 to 2000 to visit family and friends.It’s on the High Street close to a tube station so there is a good possibility that they will get pasting trade as they say. |

And it's cheap considering you can stay there all day and evening til 7 in the morning for under 30 quid. You bring a blanket and a pillow and that's a cheap place to stay on a night out in the big smoke |

You hang around the smoking area you just naturally start chatting and flirting. Then I've had one lady then lead me into the sauna and drizzle prosecco down her breast and make me lick it off her. It gets nuts in a good way. Or if you just wanna soak and chill there is plenty of opportunity for that. Chilled atmosphere. |

"Not sure it will reopen "prior" to this current lockdown....unless you have a TARDIS? I guess it should open after lockdown tho...."
Whilst social distancing is in place, it's not gonna reopen . In all likelihood that takes us well into 2022 and who knows what business will survive. For all we know they could be gone .

...and couples only on a Saturday night- highly recommended.
+ BYOB and they will keep it behind the bar for you.
