Neat looking little building! So nice that it survived the bombing and is still here today.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that it has survived both bombing and developers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame it doesn't work as a restaurant or a bath.
ReplyDeleteYour photo is up on my blog! We had a long trip home! Flight was delayed 5+ hours and we were on the plane on the ground all that time. Got home our time 2:15 am (7:15 am London time). Feeling the effects of that today. Keep in touch. I really enjoyed meeting you.
ReplyDeleteInteresting style contrast amidst the skyscrapers. Wouldn't it be fun to see the baths themselves! I bet the tiling was as colorful and beautiful as the outside.
ReplyDeleteI went over to Marcia's blog to see a new picture of you, and her. I don't follow her and resisted the temptation, since I'm already way overextended. That is an exquisite building; I'm glad it survived the Blitz. It may find its new incarnation one of these days. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful old building, a shame it is not retored to its former glory for people to view inside
ReplyDeleteThose public baths are almost everywhere closed now. Here the same has happened. Hope they will keep the building alive and not let it crumble down.
ReplyDeletesuch great old remnants of Victorian architecture deserve use and preservation.
ReplyDeletepretty
ReplyDeleteGreat details and I bet it was luxurious.
ReplyDeleteIf the restaurant were open I'd be tempted to go in!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting architecture. You always show most interesting places. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the details, sad to know it's been closed! Wonderful captures for the day as always!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteFortunate to have survived the bombing. But oh what a shame it is closed. What intriguing architecture that reminds me of the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
ReplyDeleteWow that's incredible!! Boom, Bobbi and Gary.
ReplyDeleteA neat looking building, I love the windows.. Great shots! Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteResembles a building in Beijing of the Muslim temple ~ Wonderful shots for OWT ~ thanks, ^_^

Wonderful place with great architecture.
ReplyDeleteFascinating building - it would be great to be able to go inside and see what's there.
ReplyDeleteHi There, We are home from a trip to the gorgeous West VA mountains –where we celebrated our anniversary… I’ll be blogging about this time for awhile –since it was so special.
ReplyDeleteGlad that they have preserved/kept the Turkish Baths. Love the Moorish style entrance. Gorgeous... I read Marcia's blog today ---showing that she had met you recently. That is SO neat.
Hugs,
Betsy
What an amazing building. I love the decoration.
ReplyDeleteThis architectural style is so artistic.
ReplyDeleteGreat series.
It's a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly beautiful, what a great find!
ReplyDeleteI fixed your link, it wasn't working properly...
What a lovely building.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice building but what a pity that is not being used as a bath anymore! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteAnother hidden gem of London.If it wasn't for the office block you could well be in The Middle East. It's so important to preserve such buildings, even better to continue using them if possible.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that! What a lovely building.
ReplyDeleteDecidedly moorish. Being a little older than you, I well remember the institution of the Bath House.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that the beautiful building survived! Thanks for sharing and for commenting on my entry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a quaint little building.
ReplyDeletea beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonder! Reminded me a bit of Hot Springs National Park which has some ornate bath houses that they still used as such by appointment (first time we'd ever gone to a National Park to take a bath!). Later era , but similar. I'm glad this building was saved ... apparently it must still be open for tours if not as a restaurant (?)
