Contrast Anerley is a recovery studio in Anerley, South London, built around a traditional Finnish sauna, a cold plunge kept in a roughly 8 to 12°C range, and a red light therapy room. It sits in Unit 106 at 183a Anerley Road (SE20 8EF), opposite Betts Park, with free on-site parking. Sessions run 60 minutes and are capped at four people, so the space stays private rather than communal.

The studio is run by husband-and-wife founders Eliza and Silviu Sandu, who operate it alongside their existing strength and mindset studio. Eliza holds an MSc in Strength and Conditioning and has coached since 2014, and Silviu has a background in personal training and sports coaching. The idea grew out of a family trip through Austria and its small local saunas.

A single sauna and cold plunge session is £29, rising to £43 for an 80 minute session that adds 20 minutes of red light therapy. Bundles bring the per-session cost down (5 sessions for £135, valid 45 days; 10 for £250, valid 60 days), and two rolling monthly memberships are offered: Me Time at £50 for two sessions a month and Standard at £100 for four. Towels, herbal tea and toiletries are included. Slots must be booked at least 6 hours ahead and swimwear is required.

Cold Plunge
On enquiry
A private cold plunge pool kept in a cold therapy range where users can sit and submerge up to the shoulders. Small-capacity and private rather than communal. Users are advised to start with short dips of 30 to 60 seconds, use controlled breathing, and warm up gradually afterward. The clinic states cold therapy is not recommended for everyone.
Finnish Sauna
On enquiry
A traditional electric Finnish sauna with stones, kept at a low-capacity private setup and designed to pair with the cold plunge for contrast therapy. Users can pour water on the stones for the classic steam (loyly) effect. The clinic states a sauna session is not magic but used sensibly is a tool alongside strength training, walking, good food and sleep.
