Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don’t seem
to get anything done.

I started working at the Chanel head offices in 1987. They occupied the entire first floor of 76 Jermyn Street, I used to love my morning walk from Green Park tube station, past the Ritz hotel and wind my way through. The building was becoming the apartments that it is today and so we all moved to Old Bond Street in 1988, which was also a lovely street to work in. Would have loved to have seen any kind of remains/foundations of the hamman that existed here, had no clue!

I had a Great Uncle Yankel who was a schmeisser (masseur) at a famous east end Schwitzbad (sweatbath) called Schefchicks.
In the 50′s we always spent the night at the Russell Square Turkish Baths before returning to Brighton.
Much cheaper than a hotel.

I spent many nights at the Savoy turkish baths in Jermyn Street. The steam was very revitalising, tea and biscuits allways available. There was a plentifull supply of handsome hunks who were looking for some
male company. I remember them with affection. Some became my friends. Wouldn’t it be great if there was another old fashioned establishment like The Savoy Turkish Baths in London

I went a couple of times of the Jermyn Street baths but was never positively propositioned. though when I lay down in one of the curtained closets for a sleep I was conscious that occasionally someone would peep through the curtains! I’m sure that gay men enjoyed the place; I enjoyed it because it was really relaxing, the massage was great, and it’s a great shame it went!

I used to stay overnight at the Turkish Baths in Jermyn Street during my regular visits to London in the 1950s and 60s. It was cheaper than a hotel and quite comfortable with tea and sandwiches always available, magazines to read, a safe for your wallet and watch, and a private cubicle to sleep in. In the mornings it was popular with jockeys trying to lose weight. Incidentally, no-one ever approached me with ulterior motives.
