Roman Baths & Pump Rooms

The Roman Baths is an award-winning museum and ancient monument at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath. Home to Britain’s hottest geothermal spring, it boasts some of the finest Roman remains in Northern Europe. For centuries, people from all walks of life have shaped its story, drawn by the waters, the history, and the shared human experience it represents.

Alongside the Baths, the elegant Pump Room has long been a social hub. Built between 1789 and 1799, its Corinthian columns, glittering chandelier, and iconic spa fountain once welcomed Georgian high society, who believed in the healing powers of Bath’s mineral-rich waters. While the Romans bathed in the thermal springs, the Georgians made drinking the water a fashionable ritual—one that continues today.
