Roman Bath Street


City, 75, Newgate Street. (EC1) Formerly called Bagnio Court, derives its name from a once fashionable bagnio, the first that was established in London. Strype speaks of it as "a neatly contained building, after the Turkish fashion, for the purposes of sweating and hot-bathing, and much approved by the physicians of the time." (Reference: Jesse's London, vol. III, p. 220)
