Description

The St Pancras Baths were opened in October 1901. Originally the baths had two men's pools and two ladies’ pools, and at the time was one of only three baths in Britain with first and second class pools for women. The baths, which were later known as the Kentish Town Sports Centre, were refurbished from 2008 and reopened in 2010. The Prince of Wales Road public hall block was converted into apartments.
