On Sunday we went to Wavelengths Deptford. For a pool that just had a renovation a couple years ago, some parts were not in a great condition, particularly the lockers and poolside changing. But, the water was clean and not cold.


There are two big slides for older children and a small slide for younger children. There are also waves and a bubble fountain. During wave session, the parent-child ratio is very low. BeSt to call if you're uncertain. Their website is notoriously incomplete. You need to bring your own floats etc.


There's also a cafe, and soft play. xx

On Friday we ended up going to glamorous gravesend :) and went to the cascades pool there... Two big slides - my 5 year old loved one but was too scared to try the other, & 1 baby slide which my 3 year old loved. Waves every 30 minutes. Nice big pool but was v rammed and v heavy on the chlorine - tho I assume that both of these are because it was school hols... So all in all not bad but still a 50 min drive away... Will need to try wavelengths for comparison but I had heard that it all a bit grubby there..

Whenever I see someone asking this question I feel all nostalgic for the early 90s when there was one in Dartford and one in Croydon with loads of slides, waves, floaty river in rubber rings and the like. Had great times at both with my mates as a kid.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
