Save The Bath House
We ask that the Mayor of Hackney and the Mayor of London urgently intervene in Hackney Council’s decision to terminate The Bath House’s lease and remove the very team that transformed it from a derelict, disused shell into a thriving, self-sustaining hub for culture, wellbeing, and community. This space now serves thousands weekly through grassroots-led initiatives that generate not just public benefit, but deep social wealth. To displace its creators without due process would undermine years of civic effort, public trust, and the borough’s own commitments to inclusive, community-led regeneration and one that serves as a beacon of community empowerment in action.
Why is this important?
The Bath House is more than just a local issue, it’s a symbol of what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead. At a time when public spaces are disappearing and decisions are made behind closed doors, The Bath House shows that another way is not only possible, it’s already working. People should join this campaign because if we allow this space to be taken away, we send a message that community-led, inclusive, and self-sustaining projects don’t matter, even when they succeed. Standing up for The Bath House is standing up for fairness, for transparency, and for a future where people, not just profits, shape our cities and the world we live in.
