Hi, Canning town baths is not closed. It is very much open - please see
www.newdocklands.co.uk We encourage first timers to visit on a Sunday - two new
visitors can enter for just £5.50 each. It has fantastic steam, a great Russian
sauna, a cafe, TV and guys can massage and schmeiss each other to their hearts
content. Please note, though, it is not for those looking for sex.

Ironmonger Row is still open. The place will close at some point for
redevelopment. I urge everyone to write or call Islington council to insist that
they do not wreck the place or turn it into - God forbid - a 'spa'.

Best, Paul

is far too expensive for what it is. I'm not sure they allow naturist / free
massage there either. Irinmonger Row is closed for redevelopment. CJB.
