The Flake advert sprang to mind as I was mulling over my experiences of the past few months. At the end of one long day I found myself in an hotel, having a bath. I'd like to say it was something similar to the scenario you see above this, but no, it was in an hotel, which was definitely a luxury, but instead of Opera streaming through the background, I had 'Britain's Got Talent' screaming from the telly I couldn't see in the next room.
I just had a thought - wouldn't it be great if somewhere in London we could go and have a nice long soak, and then perhaps a coffee or a refreshing herbal tea? A little time warp where you can take a bath and laze around with no worry of interruptions. Not a Spa, nothing that makes you feel guilty for not being eternally wholesome and 'green tea'. And perhaps not too expensive?
I envisage a room approx the same size as the Flake set above, or tonnes of baths, dotted through a landscape with geyser-style steam creating walls between baths... but then that's not practical...
In our halls of residence in Sheffield (circa '98) we had a bath to share on the corridor: it was not glamourous, and had the same standard gaps below and above the extended cubicle as you now come to expect of any public women's toilet. I don't think any of us ever used it, as we much preferred the showers.
Then there's the sustainability issue: how could this 'posh bath house' idea get off the ground when we don't want to waste water?
My posh bath. Molton Brown dispensers - you can't pick the bottles up though.

and another thing, we don't want to bump into other bath users en route to towels
