Plan and cross-section of the London Hammam

             
Section through, and floor plan of, David Urquhart's London Hammam built by the London & Provincial Turkish Bath Co Ltd and opened in 1862.

The rooms on the upper floors of the original building, on Jermyn Street to the right of the plan, were converted into offices, and rooms for letting which were known as the Chambers. Mrs Doggett was originally appointed as housekeeper of the Chambers. The Turkish bath was built to the rear in the area formerly occupied by the stables.
