The Grade II listed Haggerston Pool was designed by Alfred Cross. It was closed in 2000 with an uncertain future. In June 2009 after a long community campaign, a £5m grant was announced from the Department for Children, Schools and Families to refurbish and re-open the pool. The building would also contain community facilities and a GP surgery. Heavily involved in the re-opening of the pool was Michael Gallie, who was instrumental in surveying the building, creating 3D model sketches and more.

The Haggerston baths campaign restarted efforts to find financial backing and public support in an effort to re-open the historic East End pool. As of January 2023 it appears that any restoration of the building will no longer include restoring the swimming baths.Squire and Partners image gallery: https://squireandpartners.com/architecture/haggerston-baths/ Retrieved 12th January 2023
