Hornsey Road Public Baths

Summer 2006

 

After long day in London what better place to go to relax than the public pool?

Unfortunately the baths at Hornsey Road haven't really been "public" since they closed in 1991 but that wasn't going to stop myself or my fellow explorer Mr Bones from taking a look around.

The victorian frontage predates the 1930's baths and are currently in use as offices. After a rather Interesting (If somewhat obvious) entry we crossed the car park and entered the baths. Inside we found our way through a short set of drab interconnecting rooms and halls leading out into the pool.

After an hour or so we made a move towards the exit and as we paused to snap some exteriors we saw a security man approaching us... Rather than stick around for a barrage of questions we decided that a quick withdrawal to the safety of the car was needed and we swiftly left the area.

You'll have to forgive the quality of the photos, Cheap film and no tripod are a bad combination!
