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.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
