I only realised they had finished it when I went for an early morning stroll today. I have to say it is very impressive and I used all of the equiptment too. It maybe isnt quite as controlled as a 'proper' gym, but everything looks great and works fantastically well and best of all its all FREE!! I recommend it for anyone on a credit crunch busting diet.

Next thing some child will get hurt and it will be closed down.

Really annoys me, as you hear the mummies say to their toddlers 'darling this isn't meant for you, it's for the grown ups,' yet they happily let the kiddies crawl all over the equipment. i think that there was a similar thread earlier where one poster even complained that the moveable parts of the equipment were not safe for kids(6)

I've been past the place four hundred times and have never seen any more than two people using 'the equipment' at once - for any serious purpose other than 'as a laugh to kill two minutes'.


If you put a load of shiny metal moving parts within ten paces from a skateboard park and toddler's playground, you're kind-of asking for it.


There are also several busy roads and a pond for drowning in which parents must negotiate on their way to and from the park. I guess they feel they can make their own decisions as to whether lifting their children briefly onto a tractionless treadmill constitutes any sort of meaningful risk, in the grand scheme of life. There are logs in Peckham Rye which are more dangerous, if used unsupervised.


I expect if there was a queue of tracksuited keep-fit enthusiasts doing star-jumps and jogging up and down on the spot to keep warm, patiently waiting for a machine to become free, there wouldn't be any parents and children using them as a momentary distraction en route to the ice cream shop. Only there aren't.

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
