The Porchester Spa

A real local landmark, Baywater’s historic Porchester Spa is not just any old sauna and steam room set-up, but actually London’s oldest spa facilities, having first opened in 1929. The Grade II-listed building reopened in early 2020, restored to its former Art Deco splendour after an £800,000 refurbishment project. With an improved steam room, extended sauna, plunge pool, and three Turkish steam rooms (tepidarium, caldarium and laconium), the Westminster Council-owned spa is a well-equipped, no-fuss facility, with very reasonable prices if you’re after a treatment or two.
