Difficult to see behind the row of mature street trees, this is the large office block "composed from a variety of Arts and Crafts and Flemish Renaissance elements" that stands in front of the bath house itself. It was built in 1895, by architect L B L'Anson for the Parish of St Mary Newington (at that time the Vestry, or parish council, carried out many of the functions of a local authority). It is now listed grade 2, from which this description is extracted. At least part of the office block is now a Buddhist centre (see shared description below).
