We had our daughter's birthday swimming party at Dulwich Leisure Centre on Saturday 8th December. Unfortunately 5 locked lockers in the family and men's changing room were forced open and money + iphones + camera were taken which belongs to my husband and 4 guests. The incident clearly marred the party we were having for my daughter.


What made me angry was that the attitude of the staff + security of this place where the barrier (to go in the changing room + pool area) opens automatically to anybody. When we reported of the theft, none of the staff seemed cared to go to the changing room to see what had happened. It was until much later and a lot of noise made by the guests that one staff went to the changing room to check it out.


This was the first time we had our party there, the last 2 parties were at Peckham Leisure Centre where the security is better and stringent.


it was clearly a letdown.

Anybody had similar experience at Dulwich Leisure Centre?

Sorry to hear about what happened, on what should have been a happy occasion. Have to admit that I never take anything with me of any value to the baths. Don't they have CCTV in the reception areas that might show who went through? What did the police have to say?

The reception made a police report however the police didnt turn up.

It was our first time at this leisure centre and using the swimming pool, therefore we have no idea that the locker room is not a safe place. i guessed we learnt the hard way.


i dont think we will be using the facilities there anymore.

what a shame as its our local.


thanks for the comments.

we will be following this up with the leisure centre.

just wish us luck.

We called the leisure centre yesterday and spoke to the Manager. He is aware of the incident but did not have a clue of any update on this matter. The police came eventually according to him. My husband asked whether the police was given access to the CCTV, he said he does not know. It is very frustrating.


It wasn't the cheapest option to have a swimming party there for our daughter. The service is a real let down.


Yes, only the locked ones were forced open.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
