The council, though, has obligations to a much wider and generally more diverse group of people who would not likely use standard gyms. It also has good rates if you sing up and use DD so it is not that fair a comparison. I agree the booking system is now not needed but I have never found it cumbersome, just irksome because it allows folk to book and then not turn up. (I don't think people are routinely fined, just sent stern-ish letters.)

For anyone interested, there?s a progress report on the project to insource leisure services on the agenda for next week?s cabinet meeting. In short, it?s a big and complex task.

Hello! I swim at the leisure centre every week and find that spaces become available close to the desired slot due to last minutes cancellations - I almost always manage to get a swim booked on the medium or fast lane at 7pm/8pm/9pm. Download the everyone Active app - it's fairly straight forward, easy to use and allows you to book and cancel swims. Hope this helps a bit

Thanks Janet - I?ve been using the website which is just awful.


I want to swim fairly early in the morning and as I have a child to get ready for school it?s not really s9mething last minute I can arrange - night before at the latest, which I haven?t succeeded at yet!

The problem I found was that sessions don't actually exist. Booked junior gym twice for my son, didn't exist first time, assured over phone 2nd time it did exist and it didn't.

    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…      
    • Nice that the drinks have started up again. I used to arrange them when they first started and I met some good friends through them. We used to get 30+ people going at one point. The karaoke night at The Wishing Well was very memorable!
