"Hi
Have just seen on the TFL website and in the standard that Kentish Town tube station will be reopening on the 23rd December!"
It used to be bad enough when the escalator was not working.
I was young and almost half as desperate as the locals when I used to go there.
Certainly wouldn't bother now.
There used to be an old boy there every time I went who might even have been in the age group I'm in now.
Don't know if he had to use the station stairs. Perhaps he lived in Rios, it certainly looked like so! |

About time!"
. Yes it’s about time as I believe it was supposed to open July 2024.It will make my life easier not having to go to Tufnel Park and get the 134 bus to and from Rios. |

I believe it’s no longer the case and everyone is welcomed, unless they changed it recently. |

Well we went there Monday afternoon but decided to give it a miss and went to Chinatown instead.
Constant wanking dead and sense of entitlement from previous visits put us off. Sounds like its more of a swim club than a naturist place these days. |

Lol that guy I remember him if same guy , I heard a story once about him , when they changed over to couples only night and everybody had to clear out , he hid in the ole big laundry towel bin under towels and popped out later during couples night ....
It's easier to get to kentish town west and about 5 min walk up on the overground ,,,but your right it's not the same place anymore completely hit and miss as weather you stay 30 mins or few hours now at leat before it was easier to relax and have a chat , can't even do that anymore there, |

Yes, we used to go but the persistent single men with no etiquette just killed it…….and all wearing hurt. We’d go back if they made it proper naturist and clamped down hard on the pets. |

when I go to Rio's I don't wear anything because I know it's a naturist place |

Hi all,
Not been to Rio's for a year or so, but thinking of popping in some time over the next few days.
Trouble is they keep wanting me to pay for a single guy and can't see the invisible lady I have occompanying me, telling me she's my imaginary friend.

"How much is entry? Do they provide towels/flip flops?"
No yoh bring your own stuff. If you are happy with single guys following you round and waiting outside private rooms waiting for couples to go in and play then this is the place for you.
Can’t bear the place, creeps me out! |

Unfortunately they got rid of couples night a few months ago because they made less money on Saturday nights. This however was by far the best night because it lacked all the annoying single guys. Unfortunately the owners went for slight increase in short term profits and many women and couples now vowing never too return (and subsequently men finding it a sausage fest) |

Usually people who have been banned from Kestrels write positive reviews about this place in order to try to slate Kestrels. Rios is more their sort of place though I guess. |

. I guess I am in the minority as I have not been banned from Kestrels but I attend Rios with my friend and leave positive reviews for Rios based on my experience on the day / night that I attend. I have only ever attended Kestrels once in 2018 or 2019 when there was still work been done but still enjoyed a relaxing afternoon.I think the fact that Kestrels , AbFabs , Ignite hosts a well attended social every couple of months tells me it’s doing something right. |

We are heading down Friday evening, I guess everyone’s experience is different on different nights, we went on a Monday after Xmas and enjoyed our time there, I’m guessing Friday night will be a very different crowd and vibe but we did enjoy the facilities so can only try for ourselves and if anything enjoy a swim, sauna and jacuzzi. |

"Went past it earlier and it still looks like a shit hole. D"
. I was there last night with my friend.From the outside it looks exactly as it did in the 1990’s when I use to drive past it.Inside the facilities are fairly basic but me and my friend find it ok to chill out.The private rooms are not the most appealing but they do the job.
