Maybe you know as well what "Clapham municipal bars" means? That's from the river scene, where he sends young Ascoyne d'Ascoyne tumbling down the weir.

"Baths" not "bars" perhaps?

Yeah, but strangely it sounds like "bars"...
Perhaps they had swimming pools in the bars in those days?)

The municipal baths weren't originally swimming pools, but somewhere you could go to wash when you didn't have a bath at home. Swimming pools and Turkish baths were often added to bathhouses later.

Default silken rope

The reference to a silken rope is that Lords were hanged with a rope made of silk, rather than the normal hemp rope which us commoners would have been dispatched with. hence, after using a silken rope he does not want to go back to hemp. Hope this helps
