[1] By a conveyance dated 30 November 1904, the land was acquired by the Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith from Richard Durnford, Secretary to the Charity Commissioners of England and Wales.

During the winter season, the larger pool was converted into a public hall for meetings, concerts, wrestling, dances, Badminton and Indoor Bowls.

[13] In 1949, future President of Nigeria Nnamdi Azikiwe spoke at the Plenary Session of the British Peace Congress held at the baths, delivering the speech "A Denunciation of European Imperialism".

[4] Swimming and boxing matches from the baths were regularly broadcast by the BBC,[15] including an iconic fight between Mick McManus and Peter Preston in 1967.

[19] The pool hall and baths to the west were demolished and the entrance block on Lime Grove was sold to the Notting Hill Housing Trust[20] by a conveyance dated 18 February 1982[2] and converted into flats.
