The Roman Baths, hidden behind Aldwych tube station, has recently opened to the public as part of an art installation by artist Kate McMillan. This rare opportunity allows individuals to explore the bathhouse, originally thought to date back to Roman times but actually rooted in the 17th century. McMillan's exhibition, 'The River's Stomach (Songs of Empire)', runs until July 2025, featuring strange audiovisual elements and sculptures that reflect on women's migration narratives and the impacts of colonialism. Though the art may not resonate with everyone, it offers a unique glimpse of an uncommon historical site.
The Roman Baths, a historical site, is being opened for public art exploration led by artist Kate McMillan, focusing on the migration narratives of women.
