Ironmonger Row Baths
At the heart of the southern Islington community, and a short walk from Old Street (Northern Line), Ironmonger Row Baths warmly welcomes all locals and passers-by into the stunning £17million, recently restored public gym, swimming pools (30m and 15m teaching pool) and original Turkish baths. The Turkish baths, brought to you through Spa Experience by Better, offers a blissful central London retreat. In addition, to the fully kitted out gym there are separate zones (rooms) for cardio and functional training. Both pools are fully accessible and play host to the ever growing Better Swim School, IRB’s learn to swim programme, which caters for toddlers to older adults in 1-2-1 and group sessions.
