Berner Street Baths

Berner Street Baths was a public swimming facility located in London, built in the early 20th century to promote health and hygiene among urban residents. It offered bathing services, including pools and showering areas, providing a hygienic environment at a time when private bathing was less common. The baths also served as social spaces, encouraging community interaction. Over time, with improvements in private plumbing and changing social habits, many public baths like Berner Street became less essential and were eventually closed or repurposed.
