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.

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
