London Aquatics Centre: what do users think?

Karl Veskus: The London Aquatics Centre is a swimmer's paradise with multiple lanes and a spacious 50m pool. It's a blissful escape from crowded pools, allowing for a refreshing and enjoyable swimming experience. Whether you're a serious athlete or a leisurely swimmer, this facility offers a perfect aquatic haven in London.

Haseeb Patel: Visited on Weekend Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes

Patricia Carrillo: . Nice booking system and staff are kind and welcoming always

Violeta Guglea: We are here for the swimming competition. The place is absolutely beautiful, very nice, massive and has a good feel. However, be prepared with a fun as it is very hot and steamy. The sound is also not so good, you cannot get a word, but there is electronic panels which is a good guide.Visited on Weekend …

Veselina Niklenova: Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

Long Wu: Beautiful pool, but the restroom sucks. Only 3 stools for men's locker room and only 2 stools for regular guests outside. The designer probably didn't think much people using the facilities.Visited on Weekday Wait time 1 hr+ Reservation recommended Not sure …

Ken Liu: It's a well run local pool that just happens to be an Olympic venue. You can't help but feel a bit awed and hopefully more than a bit inspired by swimming thereIt can get very busy, and the showers are a bit weak but as a place to swim, it can't be beaten

Luke O: Great swim pool, came here to watch Adam Peaty's AP race event and really enjoyed it. If you're spectating, make sure to wear shorts and t-shirt since it's very warm inside.

John Sourgiadakis: Visited on Weekday

Frank Emmerich: Nice former Olympic Venue with the option to swim where Michael Phelps has written Olympic History. Approx 8 GBP fee - very kind staff.

Florian M.: I was there early afternoon during the week. I could just pay £6 and then swim for as long as I wanted.Payment is by card only, but you need a £1 coin for the lockers.Reservations weren't necessary as there wasn't much going on.It's a shame that everything seems very old, dirty in many places and a bit run down, even though this Olympic swimming pool has only been there since 2012. We could really take a little better care of the preservation here...Unfortunately, showers and changing rooms are also far too small and cramped.So my conclusion: Great for swimming, the rest looks like a building in Eastern Europe from the 60s

Gwénola Farault: Superb swimming pool with the Olympic pool on one side and the warm-up pools on the other. THEconditions are ideal, there were only 19 swimmers doing laps!And I would like to thank the receptionist who allowed us to return

Jan Adamic: I've been a member of the Aquatics Centre for a few months, using both swimming and gym facilities about four times a week. The overall design of the building on the outside is timeless but the wood that surrounds the top of the building needs some urgent treatment as it does appear to be rotting on the north west side.I have never had an issue with cleanliness of the venue, perhaps I'm just lucky but the pool has always been spotless. The changing rooms could be a tiny bit more clean but it's not unclean to the point where it would actively deter me from changing there.The gym is relatively small and I have to lower my score here. There is quite a lot of equipment out of service at the moment. Rowing machines take up quite a lot of space in one corner - but only one of them is really working. Hopefully with a change of the venue caretaker, we'll see some better and less break-prone equipment too.Also, I've read through some reviews on here and I'm a little bit bewildered as to why some people say that the lifeguards are rude - I have never experienced a rude lifeguard here, if anything the lifeguard was upset with you because you were taking pictures of your child with other people in the pool, which is made clear that you're not allowed to multiple times. But hey, you'll leave a bad review on here just to "prove" your point.Anyway, good venue overall but could do a tiny bit more on the cleaning and quite a bit more on the gym.

Hugh (Joc): Good experience for children to use the Olympic poolVisited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

johan muñoz: A magnificent place to swim 👌🏼

Kevin Williams: Supurb building immaculate.Fantastic facilities easy to access.Friendly staff in every department.Loved it!Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

Nadir Shaari: Olympic swimming with more than 10 lanes. They also have a 25 meters pool and a cafe. Great place for swimming around Stratford.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended No …

kat winter: around the changing rooms and lockers I was walking very slowly with my cane for support on my way out. Nigel spotted me with my waddle ambling along. He asked if I was OK. Showing concern then slowed his pace to stay with me by my side as I walked out he was making small talk as we walked but I know he only did that to make sure I was ok. And I am incredibly greatful to him for taking so much care for me.Its the small things that mean the most.Thank you Nigel you made my day.

Oasis Sports Centre: what do users think?

David Naylor: Great community experience

Sam McIntyre: . There are a variety on Locket sizes, including nice big ones for big kit bags.Be aware that at the time of writing the indoor pool is still closed.

Scott C: Very well located a short walk from soho and has many hidden features, such as you don’t expect at open air pool on the top of a building in central london hahaThe facilities are very easily accessible and easy to use, the open plan changing rooms and shower areas are nice to see and makes it easier see others and/or to continue a conversation or whatever with someone instead of being squashed into small cubicles like many other sports centres, although there are cubicles available if you do want some privacy…Most staff and accommodating and professionalA decent place for a session after work and meeting new people, whether you are visiting to workout, relax, exhibit, cruise or whateverDefinitely would recommend the oasis to any guy

Sabine Lacroix: Piscine agréable et accueil sympathique bien que les douches et les escaliers soient un peu vétuste. Piscine extérieur très bonne.

Clancy Gebler Davies: So lucky this open air pool is still here - and open for everyone and affordable for most.

Laura Zhou: Hands down the best leisure centre in London with the most friendly staffs!

Silvana Pagano: We enjoyed a great day today! Staff helpful and kind! Thanks

Ruth Watts: but they let me in anyway

Ken Liu: Like most of the Better pools, don't expect luxury, but you do get something unique. An open air, outdoor pool in Central London!The 27.5m pool is usually quite busy but everyone is friendly. Also there's a shallow end and a 3.5m deep end so you do need to be a fairly confident swimmer

Paul Everitt: Lovely outdoor pool. Sauna outside just get hot and swim. 30p lockers get contactless from machine. Showers non cubicaled , downside. Changing area busy. Fantastic on a summer's day. Best to book in advance. Then have a wander round Covent Garden.

Ellen Hawkes: Lovely warm lido! Changing rooms were very clean, staff are friendly!

Richard Ben Fletcher (Richie): I love this sports centre and the outdoors swimming pool. A secret oasis in central London

Jason Baker: Nice pool

Anna Farcas: Amazing place amazing beautiful person... I love to be there....me and my baby daughter I'm enjoying all the time 💞

philip may: Really nice people

Carol Walters: Staff very helpful- changing rooms could be swept more often

Sigita Latveniene: Brill!

Cheeky Cat: Swimming, was also splendid, but the hygine isnt well. Once you have gone inside the changing room, the floor is wet with water, that is brown, that brings a high chande of getting a verucca. So I think that they should hire cleaners. Thx for the great swim!

Amanda Lang: . Don’t we all love our Cally Pool!!!

Sakira Macdonald: My daughter does swimming here and has learned so much I really like the teachers especially Liam he goes above and beyond for the kids. In terms of front of house staff Farakhan and Dillon and the lady who works mornings do their absolute best to cater to our needs and are extremely helpful. Cally pool looses a star because the new GM is dismissive and has no clue how to talk to people, I’m absolutely appalled and can see a downturn in service in the past couple of weeks since he has been there.

Lesley Morgan: Very pleasant colleague on Front Desk..friendly & helpful. Only 1 family changing cubicle seen...had to change baby on knee. Looked quite clean.

Omar Daniel: If I ever want to set up a hospitality / retail business I'm stealing all the staff. Only improvement would be a coat hanger in the gym.

Leyton Leisure Centre: what do users think?

alex vernon: The pool was nice and the slide was fun.Frances the lifeguard was helpful and friendly.The only part that let the experience down was a lifeguard with no name badge

Jay M: This is my weekend gym, and I love it. The gym is decently taken care of, and very spacious, they just need to improve on maintenance.The leisure centre is great, some really fun spin and boxing classes, swimming is great and the sauna/ steam room are good. Special shout out to Floyd who leads the Boxfit and Spin Cycle classes on Saturday mornings - he's excellent and determined to keep everyone motivated and going. I always look forward to my weekends now, especially on Saturdays!

George Oliver: Thoroughly enjoyed my aquarobic session. Tired now...

Z: I attend the Swim for Women here and it is a good experience. It does run at the same time as the Swim Doctor Swimming Lessons which I find to be a little disruptive but I suppose they make the most of the women's only slot. I would advise the staff to prepare the pool area beforehand though with the correct signs in the correct lanes as well as reminding everyone to swim in the right direction. The toilets in the changing rooms however do need a good clean. All women of all abilities attend here which is nice to see. The cost of hiring a locker is a £1 coin which you can get back after you're done using it. The bus stops right outside the centre. All-in-all, a good experience.

Abraham Hanif: I'm really happy with this place, even though you're supposed to book online, I just turned up after checking if spaces were available.Then I paid and enjoyed a great swim.The cleanliness of the changing area and the pool area and pool water was excellent.And you get your £1 back when you use the lockers, I was told to use a trolley token. Nice. 😁

Rohima Begum: Another better gym I used for the pool. Nice and clean

J S: Amzing place to take the kids after school for a swim for all session, the kids can play in the slides and games area and adults can have their swim in the big pool lanes. Ill be definetly coming back many times.

shilinder singh: Great place just services are so poor

Inaya Ibnath Choudhury: .Free swimming for Under 18s and Over 60s!

Chris Walker: Best leisure centre in London - great pools and gym at a bargain price

Noel Mckrieth: A great Sports Centre in the heart of Stoke Newington. I can remember this centre when it had only a swimming pool and baths way back. The center has been transformed into a modern state-of-the-art Sports facility with a new Olympic pool, training pool, Squash Courts, Gym, Weight room, Indoor Football and Badminton Courts.

Margarita P.: I swim in the main pool 5-6 days a week. The pool has a really comfortable temperature, large showers, everything is convenient. Don't forget the 20p for the locker!The only bad thing is mold and even green moss around the pool and in the showers. It's not much, but it's there. I understand that mold is everywhere in Britain, but please try to fight it!The staff is very friendly and polite.I also went to yoga a couple of times, everything is perfect there, going to go again.

Sweet Pagari: I have learnt a lot from them all.The downside is the place gets so hot in the summer, to the point where I feel unwell, the air conditioning in the studio breaks down and they only put one fan for the whole room as a replacement.Also in the courts it’s gets very hot. There is a shortage of equipment and all the weights are bundled in one silly place, it’s would be useful to spread out the weights and also please can we have access to water down in the courts too!Aside from that, I really enjoy coming to this leisure centre.

IwishIownedMonos: Very disappointed that the children splash area isn't open mid week, I wanted to book for Monday. I have taken my grandchildren to the indoor pool, but this would have been lovely this week. We just went to the playground in the park, which has animals, sandpit and play equipment. Come on Better, it's summer, please open the splash area mid week too.
