BILL OF PEERLESS POOL. Circ. 1846.
About 1805 Mr. Joseph Watts (father of Thomas Watts, the well-
known Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum) obtained a
lease of the place from St. Bartholomew’s Hospital at a rental of
£600 per annum, and eventually saw his way to a profit by building
on part of the ground. He drained the fish-pond which lay due east
and west, and built the present Baldwin Street on the site. The old-
fashioned house inhabited by Kemp, which stood in a garden and
orchard of apple and pear trees overlooking the west end of the fish-
pond, Watts pulled down, erecting Bath Buildings on the spot.[81]
The pleasure bath and the cold bath he, however, continued to open
to the public at a charge of one shilling, and Hone gives a pleasant
description of it as it was (still in Watts’s proprietorship) in 1826. “Its
size,” he says, “is the same as in Kemp’s time, and trees enough
remain to shade the visitor from the heat of the sun while on the
brink.” “On a summer evening it is amusing to survey the conduct of
the bathers; some boldly dive, others ‘timorous stand,’ and then
descend, step by step, ‘unwilling and slow’; choice swimmers attract
attention by divings and somersets, and the whole sheet of water
sometimes rings with merriment. Every fine Thursday and Saturday
afternoon in the summer, columns of blue-coat boys, more than
three score in each, headed by their respective beadles, arrive, and
some half strip themselves ere they reach their destination; the rapid
plunges they make into the Pool, and their hilarity in the bath, testify
their enjoyment of the tepid fluid.”
The Pool was still frequented in 1850,[82] but at a later time was
built over. Its name is kept locally in remembrance by Peerless
Street, the second main turning on the left of the City Road, just
beyond Old Street, in coming from the City. This street was formerly
called Peerless Row, and formed the northern boundary of the
ground laid out by Kemp.[83]

BAYSWATER TEA GARDENS
and in this garden he grew the plants for his wonderful Water
Dock Essence and Balm of Honey.
Hill died in 1775, and his garden was (some years before 1795)
turned into a place of amusement, known as the Bayswater Tea
Gardens, and much frequented by the denizens of Oxford Street and
neighbourhood.[124] Views of 1796 show the boxes and arbours, and
a family party, more plebeian than that in George Morland’s “Tea
Garden,” in full enjoyment of their tea. Waiters are bustling about
with huge kettles crying “’Ware kettle, scaldings!”
The Bayswater Tea Gardens are mentioned in the Picture of
London, 1823–1829, among those frequented by Londoners of the
middle classes. From about 1836 they appear to have been called
the Flora Tea Gardens, Bayswater.
