This East End landmark has undergone significant transformations since its original use as Whitechapel's public baths in the 1850s. The floor's stone outline still shows the original location of its sunken bath.
Our Aldgate campus is home to our Architecture, Interiors, Furniture & Product Design courses, along with our Foundation programme. Workshops and studio spaces are being refreshed and repurposed to enhance teaching and learning, while keeping the equipment and familiar setup students already know and use.
Located within the campus, the historic Wash Houses building is home to the Aldgate Library on the second floor, alongside the renowned Materials and Products Collection, giving students access to specialist resources in a creative learning environment. Library opening hours can be found here.
Blending contemporary facilities with distinctive traditional features, the Wash Houses also offers a unique and characterful event space available to hire for conferences, receptions, exhibitions and private events.
Located minutes from Aldgate and Algdate East tube stations, the Wash Houses on Old Castle Street are served by the Circle, Metropolitan, District, and Hammersmith & City lines. Mainline train stations Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street are a short walk away.
Entrance to The Wash Houses is through the Goulston Street building entrance.
