The Royal York Baths, London
< Shepherd, Thomas H 'Royal York Baths, Regent's Park, 1828'
In: Elmes, James Metropolitan Improvements, or, London in the Nineteenth Century
(Jones, 1829)
The Royal York Baths were originally opened in 1820. Turkish baths were added around 1865 when the new proprietor, V A Jagielski, renamed them the Royal York Turkish baths.
They were bought by the Nevill's chain in 1912, but closed four years later. The façade of the building is still extant.
