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.
The historic building now houses the University's Special Collections, including the TUC Library Collections, the Frederick Parker Collection – a unique and outstanding educational resource spanning over 300 years of British furniture making and Archive of the Irish in Britain, among others.
Additionally, this contemporary event space with unique traditional features is also available as a venue to hire.
