Vanilla Swingers – A swinger podcast for newbies, by newbies in the lifestyle
If you’ve ever wished your gym was full of naked people who actually want to talk to you, welcome to Ignite, rebranded from the mouthful Abfabs/Kestrels in January 2025. Just a stone’s throw from Heathrow, it’s part sexy spa, part naughty nightclub, and all kinds of fun, if you pick the right night. It’s the largest lifestyle club in London and the only one with a heated nude swimming pool. It’s giving low-key chaos and high-key chill depending on when you go. Consider this your layover destination, with or without a flight booked.

👀 First Impressions –If you’ve ever wished your gym was full of naked people who actually want to talk to you, welcome to Ignite. Just a stone’s throw from Heathrow, it’s part sexy spa, part naughty nightclub, and all kinds of fun – if you pick the right night. It’s the largest lifestyle club in London and the only one with a heated nude swimming pool – perfect for gloomy London fog. It’s giving low-key chaos and high-key chill depending on when you go. Consider this your layover destination – with or without a flight booked. We’re booking an overnight layover on purpose to check this bad boy out!
🎟️ Inside Tour – This is where Ignite shines. You’re not just walking into a club – you’re entering a sprawling adult playground. The whole place has a “refined naughty” feel – no tacky furniture or flashing neon signs. Just clean, sexy, functional spaces that get the job done. We’re talking:
A massive, nude, heated swimming pool—like, the kind you do laps in (or lean against while flirting). No play allowed.
Three hot tubs set to the perfect “socially steamy” temperature.
The largest dark room in London, which becomes the Hunger Games on couples nights (in the best way).
A maze of private and semi-private rooms, corridors, and yes, even a dungeon – but BYOB blankets in winter, because that part’s chilly. Body heat!
A porn cinema with comfy seats, ideal for group play or low-key voyeuring.
Water fountains everywhere (hydration is sexy, y’all).
🥂 Bar – There’s a full bar on-site (hallelujah), and drinks are reasonably priced. None of that £12 gin-and-tonic nonsense. They’ve also got free water fountains, which may sound boring until you’ve been in the hot tub for 45 minutes and feel like a salted pretzel. It’s all very well-managed and refreshingly drama-free.
🎵 DJ / Nightclub – The dance area is decent-sized but often quiet, especially on spa nights or Fridays with a single guy tilt. On Saturdays, though, you’ll catch more couples feeling the beat before heading off to explore. It’s not exactly Ibiza, but it’s enough to break the ice – and yes, they do themed nights with actual DJs from time to time.
🍒 Playrooms – From the maze of small rooms to the cinema and dark room, the play options here are as vast as the venue itself. The hot tubs and pool areas are great for soft flirty starts, and there’s plenty of semi-private space if full-on exhibitionism isn’t your vibe. Just beware: on busy nights, rooms fill fast. You may end up improvising in the cinema (not the worst fate). Fridays tend to feel more like a single-male buffet, while Saturdays and Sunday afternoons are ideal for couples seeking a laid-back vibe with sexy potential.
🔥 Vibe Check – It’s friendly, fun, and no one takes themselves too seriously. The crowd ranges from 20s to 70s, with a comfy sweet spot around the 40s–50s mark. You’ll find all body types, all ethnicities, and zero judgment. People are often shy at first, but a smile and a “hey” go a long way. Bonus: you’ll meet a surprising number of guests who found out about the club through coworkers at the airport (truly, Heathrow secrets). While Fridays can feel a bit lurky with solo guys, Saturdays are your best bet for couples. Weekday afternoons are perfect for chill spa vibes and low-pressure fun.
✅ Should You Go? – If you’re looking for London’s biggest lifestyle club with a casual, body-positive energy and enough hot tubs to soak the whole cast of Bridgerton, Ignite is a must. It’s a little less curated than central city clubs, but it makes up for it with space, warmth, and the joy of being naked by a pool. Just check the theme, avoid Mocha Night if you’re not in the mood for a sea of solo men, and dive in.

Ignite: London’s largest lifestyle club just got a glow-up. Formerly AbFabs/Kestrels, think steamy spas, naughty nights, and towel-only Tuesdays.
Le Boudoir: One of London’s most exclusive lifestyle clubs – curated, candlelit, and hotter than a West End matinee. Dress to impress, and prepare to undress.
Hellfire: A full-sized truck indoors. A working dungeon downstairs. This isn’t date night – it’s a debauchery marathon.
Voyeurism: The art of peeking behind closed doors, where watching becomes the sexiest form of foreplay. A practice in which individuals derive sexual pleasure from observing others engaging in intimate activities.
Exhibitionism: Putting on a show that would make Vegas blush, because why keep all that steamy action to yourself? The act of deriving sexual gratification from exposing one’s own body or engaging in sexual activities in front of others, often for the purpose of arousal or thrill.
Swingers Club: The playground of pleasure, where fantasies come to life and every night is a tantalizing adventure. A dedicated venue or establishment where individuals or couples within the swinging community gather to socialize, explore their sexuality, and engage in consensual sexual activities with other like-minded individuals.
Playroom: The adult’s version of a candy store, where toys, tools, and tantalizing treats await – because who says pleasure is just for kids? A designated space within a swinger’s venue equipped with various toys, equipment, and furnishings for sexual exploration and enjoyment.
