Camberwell Public Baths, Victorian leisure centre and Grade II listed building in Camberwell, England
The red brick building features terracotta decorations, artificial stone dressings, and a Dutch gable with a clock face and shell motif in the pediment.
Architects Henry Spalding and Alfred Cross designed the public baths in 1891 during a period of increased focus on urban sanitation and public health.
The facility transformed from traditional public baths to include a 25-meter swimming pool, teaching pool, and modern gym facilities for community health activities.
The leisure centre provides free access to Southwark residents on Fridays and weekend afternoons after 14:00 through a borough-wide health initiative.
The building contained its own electrical generator for lighting, making it among the first facilities in the area with electrical illumination.
