Where to be naked in London - a liberating guide from Culture Calling

A person wearing goggles swims through open water with their arm extended in a freestyle stroke. Splashes of water surround their movement, and the calm surface of the water ripples gently around them.

We need to be careful here because, officially, there is nowhere to go skinny dipping in London. However, if you are still seeking somewhere to swim naked then you’ll want to seek out wild swimming areas, in quieter times, for best results. The feeling of natural water on bare skin is so therapeutic - and a bit of communal nudity has been known to occur in the women’s only section of a certain famous North West London swimming spot… but you didn't hear that from us!

Naked Swimming can be found in the wilder open waters of London!

So now you’re used to naked bodies, but you probably need to see more realistic examples. We’re not all professional dancers - but we are all beautiful. Life drawing classes, and regular exposure to naked bodies, have a proven correlation with positive body image. London Drawing hold in-person classes almost every night of the week, while the amazing Anti-Diet Riot Club hold an online class every fourth Wednesday of the month.

London Drawing and Anti-Diet Riot Club hold regular events across the city and online.
