About this audio guide
This guide to the Pump Room in Bath steps into the Georgian morning ritual of taking the waters, when fashionable visitors drank from the hot spring and paraded round this room to see and be seen. It follows Beau Nash, the master of ceremonies behind the first pump room, and the room as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens put it into their novels. Best heard from a table facing the east end of the room.
