Camberwell Public Baths opened in 1892 and has been in continuous operation as community baths and more recently as a public leisure centre.

Camberwell Public Baths is more recently known as both Camberwell Baths and Camberwell Leisure Centre. The facilities now include a gym as well as a swimming pool.

Commissioners were commissioned in 1887 by the Vestry of Camberwell to establish three Public Baths and Wash-houses in the Parish of Camberwell - one in each of the parliamentary divisions of North Camberwell, Peckham and Dulwich.

The Camberwell Public Baths officially opened on 1 October 1892 and had cost £28 575.

The original facilities were:

- Men’s First Class: 24 private baths, one public swimming bath 120 feet by 35 feet with 81 dressing boxes at the side
- Men’s Second Class: 40 private baths, one public swimming bath, 120 feet by 35 feet with 65 dressing boxes
- Ladies First Class: 12 private baths
- Ladies Second Class: 20 private baths
- Public Laundry: 78 compartments
- Establishment Laundry

Camberwell was one of the first baths with electric lighting, powered by its own generator. The Flemish Renaissance-style facades are Grade II listed.

The baths underwent extensive refurbishment and reopened in early 2011.



The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
