Poplar Baths, Grade II listed public baths in Poplar, London, England.
The building on East India Dock Road contains a 25-meter swimming pool, gymnasium facilities, and multiple recreational spaces within its restored structure.
Established in 1852 for £10,000, the original baths provided essential washing facilities to East End residents following the Baths and Washhouses Act 1846.
The 1933 reconstruction included the East India Hall, which functioned as a 1,400-seat theater, dance hall, cinema, and community gathering space.
The leisure center provides swimming lessons through the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme, with separate sessions for children and adults.
During World War II, the building served multiple purposes, housing the borough's electricity office and later the Transport and General Workers' Union.
