The Old Kent Road Baths, Camberwell:
plan of the Turkish baths

Three hot rooms at the Camberwell Turkish baths
< Plan: Public baths and wash-houses / Alfred W S Cross. — London : Batsford, 1906

The Turkish Baths Suite, situated in the basement of the Public Baths at The Old Kent Road, Camberwell.

These baths, designed by architect E Harding Payne, were the first in London to be built by a local authority and include a Turkish baths suite. The three hot rooms, as was often the case, led off each other in a more or less straight line.
