I visited this place with group. They have good quality audio guides. Please be careful about the floor because some of the places are uneven. At the end of the trip, you will see get a cup mineral water.

Not to be confused with the city of Bath and the famous Roman Baths and Museum found there, this is a minor historic attraction known as the Roman Bath on Strand Lane. It is difficult to find and almost impossible to visit, requiring advance appointment for Wednesday afternoon visits from mid April to mid October only.

Roman Bath is located on the small Strand Lane, not far from the old Norfolk Hotel. While it was at one time touted as having originated during the Roman period, it is now believed to only be a few centuries old, likely from the Tudor period. As such, it is not really a Roman Bath and should perhaps is called a Roman style bath instead.

There is a small National Trust sign marking the location of the Roman Bath but it is easy to miss if you are not paying attention. Considering the limited visitation times and fact that it isn't really from the Roman period, makes it difficult to recommend for most visitors to London. We'd give it a pass and focus your efforts on more interesting attractions in this area of the city.

I am giving this one star and that’s for the poor guy who had to sit and wait for us to find this National Trust landmark. Well if that’s what my money is paying for!! I am shocked the place needs to be put to rest because it it is not fit for viewing it took 2 minutes.
