Burton's Turkish or Roman Baths:

182 & 184 Euston Road, London


Plans and cross-sections of the building


These baths were designed by the architect James Schofield for the elder John Maxfield and opened at the beginning of 1861—or just possibly at the end of 1860. More than twenty-five years later they were still used as an example of how a couple of typical narrow-fronted town houses could be converted into a very satisfactory Turkish bath.

The baths are on the basement and ground floors, shown in section above, while the upper floors  house a private hotel. The women's baths are in what was the house on the right, and the men's are in the one on the left.

The plans show the women's baths which, unusually, differ only slightly from the men's.
