Ironmonger Row Baths

Ironmonger Row Baths were built as a public wash house and later upgraded to a Turkish Bath. They are located at 1-11 Ironmonger Row, in the district of St Luke's, near Old Street, Islington, London. The baths were designed by architects AWS & KMB Cross, and built in 1931

The baths include a steam room, a series of three hot rooms of varying temperature, marble slabs for massage and body scrubbing and an icy plunge pool. In addition there are two relaxation areas.
