The gym is run by fitness first and is open to the public, however out facilities department has worked out an agreement that we can use them through the 5 weeks.For a moment there, I believed you.... gym in the basement?? + steam room on the 5th floor?? You must be a very senior civil servant....
A few people go for a swim in the serpentine before work. Doing like a triathlon before work.

Soap and water in an empty spray bottle. (Ab)use the disabled cubicle if possible - I do this but when the premises are closed to the public and we don't currently have any disabled staff - handily it's also the baby changing facility which is a good table for laying stuff out on.
A shower at work is an unimaginable luxury to many of us....

Are you not concerned how the poor showers will fare in the wild? Are they not over domesticated by now?
Good luck to them.

Indeed
My commute is 10 miles each way, and I'd agree.
A couple of years ago I had a c.5 mile commute which included a lovely down hill section of Putney High Street on the way in. It was a piece of cake, but I'd still use the shower facilities to wake myself up. A shower followed by slipping on the suit makes you feel the business.
I think my employer would say you're pushing your luck, though perhaps using other words.

All these folk who couldn't ride 10 miles without a shower. Some of us don't have this option. About 2 to 3 times a week, I have a 10 mile commute into the office, then a 6 mile commute to a site, then 6 back then another 10 home. No showers or changing rooms. Lucky if I get a disabled loo, but its mainly a loo cubicle. Baby wipes and a bottle of Sure 48 hour is all I have.
I feel lucky with that, at least I can get changed in my office a fair amount of time. Getting changed in a loo cubicle isn't pleasant. Oh and my employer has about 4000 employees in Manchester. I know of a couple of showers, between hundreds of cyclists. We all seem to manage.

I could manage it easily although others in the office may have a different view by the end of the day.
