Description

Wimbledon Baths were opened as a single pool and slipper baths in 1901. A second pool and more baths were built in 1929, with a club room, rifle range, learner pool and cafe being added later. The 1929 pool was converted into a gym, and in the early 21st century the building was known as the Wimbledon Leisure Centre and Spa.
