The shampooing room at the Old Kent Road baths of the Camberwell Borough Council.

These were part of the first Turkish baths to be built by a local authority in London and were opened on 19 October 1905. There was also a cooling-room for fourteen bathers, three hot rooms, plunge pool and a range of baths and showers. The baths were used on alternate days by men and women.
