Edwardian Bathroom

The Grosvenor Museum, on Grosvenor St (where else?) has a period house attached to the back of it, where each room is furnished in a style from a different period. The bathroom in the photo shows a very early shower, and typical 'arsenic green' wallpaper, from which some people became very ill, and occasionally actually died from. You can read more about it here:
