Turkish baths still open to the public,
or to members of clubs
|
PLEASE NOTE …
that this list
includes only Victorian style Turkish baths (as defined in
the Introduction to the website). Such baths circulate
heated dry air through one or more hot rooms. The list does
not include sauna, banya or Russian (steam or vapour) baths.
Some Turkish bath
establishments do include such facilities in addition
to the Turkish bath, but they are not part of the process of
taking a Turkish bath.
This page
was last revised on
01 September 2011 when five
Victorian style Turkish baths were listed,
three of which
were built during Queen Victoria's reign.
|
Opening
times and the designati0n of sessions
(as being for men, women,
couples, mixed, or naturist)
change frequently so
this guide gives addresses and phone numbers only.
You should also note
that even though establishments may not
have closed down
permanently, they may close from time to time
for repairs or
'refurbishment'.
Do contact the baths
first before paying a visit
and check when
they are currently open.
