Images
[edit]The image of the Jermyn Street Hammam (at 76 Jermyn Street) should be removed as these baths (all to often confused with the Savoy baths at No.92) were never gay,[1] and were destroyed during the Blitz. An image of the Everard baths, the Savoy, Bermondsey, or Harrow Road would be much more appropriate if they could be found. Ishpoloni (talk) 08:44, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
This is definitely a confusing one. It does however look like that image was added partly in error maybe thinking it was of the Savoy baths. I have checked and can find no references to the Hammam being important in gay history. The Savoy ones do but I can find no images available. I will remove the image from this article. Thanks for your help on this!

GA concerns
[edit]I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to several uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Is anyone willing to address this concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

no gay baths remain in San Jose?
[edit]Watergarden was KO'd by COVID, so (unless there's another I never heard of) SJ no longer belongs with Berkeley in mention of SF area tubs. source https://hoodline.com/2022/10/former-gay-bathhouse-in-san-jose-has-been-transformed-into-a-covid-minded-office-development/ ~2026-16416-54 (talk) 01:49, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
