At the rear of the triangular building which is home to the Wimbledon Theatre, there were originally two shops at street level. Below them and, at a slightly higher level, behind them, were the various rooms of a Turkish bath.

These have been restored and refurbished to create Steve Sotiriou's new Bar Sia  which opened in June 2002. The building is Grade II Listed and the architects have incorporated original features that have survived from each of the original rooms into the new design.
