Squash in ED

[Ant]

I've been thinking of playing squash - need to get some exercise and I used to play a bit at school. It seems like my two options locally are the Dulwich Squash Club or Hamlets Health Club. Was just wondering if anyone knew of any other courts nearby, or could offer any opinions on either club.

Am expecting to be really quite rubbish at it to begin with, so lessons would be a plus.

As far as I know, JAGs has a squash court, presumably available via their sports club?

I play at Hamlets which has three courts and it's pretty good.

Pros

1. Never had a problem getting a court, even booking on the day for a (usually busy) 7-8pm slot

2. Pretty cheap - 10quid for non members 7 for members - 3.50 each isn't bad

3. Locality

4. The private lessons are supposed to be quite good - i think it's 20 bucks for an hour one on one...worth checking though

Cons

1. The court surfaces are fine, but the walls are a little worse for wear - could use a re-plaster

2. The bookings arent regulated too well, and often you have to ask people to vacate as they have run into your time - on the whole though, everyone is usually happy to leave the court when their time is up (probably because they are exhausted)

all in all it's a pleasant, hassle free experience.

Can't speak for the Dulwich Squash Club though.

Hope this helps

Cheers
