Roman Baths, Strand Lane, Archaeological site at Strand Lane, London, England.
The bath chamber measures 6.8 by 3.9 meters with brick and stone vaulting, featuring a settling tank from the 1920s at its eastern end.
Built in 1612 as a cistern for Somerset House fountain, the structure underwent transformation in the 1770s into a public cold plunge bath facility.
Charles Dickens mentioned these baths in David Copperfield, contributing to their increasing popularity among nineteenth-century London tourists.
Visitors must schedule appointments through Westminster Council for viewings, available Monday through Friday between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM from April to September.
The bath structure contains Tudor bricks with later frogged brick repairs, indicating multiple construction phases through different historical periods.
