These baths first opened in Finsbury in 1931 as a public wash house. Then became a Turkish bath house. The main swimming pool was added in 1938. Now a heritage II building about to undergo extensive renovation.In the movie Eastern Promises the notorious fight scene in the steam room was filmed at the ironmonger row baths

Nice historical facts :)
Another great picture Mo.
London never shakes off its history, however much things change - and buildings like these are very . . . well . . . London!

Can you still bathe there?
What will they do with the building once it is renovated?
