In my experience, the U.K. doesn't do nudity in saunas - or anywhere else.

Saunas used to be the place to give birth in Finland back in the days

Yep, because sauna was the cleanest room in a house

clothes in the UK have special flaps to facilitate this

You can be naked if you're drunk.

Only exception. But you normally got to be so drunk that someone needs to tells you about it the next day because you didn't know.

My experience is that the UK is about as prudish as the USA.

Every sauna I've ever been in you leave your towel outside and keep your swimming costume/shorts on. Festivals are an exception lol, but UK should be blue.
