The building is clearly identifiable as Camberwell Baths though unfortunately the lettering is not showing in the photograph.

Wells Way, Camberwell SE5 - 1960 Looking across St Georges Bridge over the Surrey Canal towards Albany Road. The first building on the right is the Camberwell Public baths. In the Oral History Mrs. Rennles describes taking shelter from the Air Raids at Camberwell Baths.

"I took the picture of the basement in 2014 – it’s the same now I think, but wouldn’t have looked like that in 1917, of course – the building was on 12 or so years old. Feel free to use it, if you need." Kind permission given by Andrew Pearson from Friends of Burgess Park
