This place is only busy because there are so few other options in the area. Unfortunately, the…read morebusiness makes the management arrogant and they offer zero customer service. If they bother to get back to you about any concern you might have about the facilities they will be completely inflexible and unhelpful. They know if you leave they have plenty of other users with little to no other choices. The recent refurbishment has been badly managed with a much smaller choice of equipment spread over 4 floors in 6 different spaces! Even at off-peak times there are queues for equipment because much of it does not even work. Complaints fall on deaf ears and management will not even entertain reducing fees due to the reduction in services. Their only suggestion they can offer is to cancel! They really do not care about the community or their members despite the headlines on their website.

This is a great place to come swimming. After a ridiculous saga, it was finally reopened a couple…read moreof years ago and it is this relative newness that makes it so shiny and nice. You don't worry about verrucas and kids weeing in the pool here, unlike at North London's other, older and therefore grimier public pools. I like to come early on a Saturday morning (provided I haven't been out too heavily the night before) as it's usually pretty quiet and you can get a good pace in the fast lane without hitting too many people's heels. The changing rooms are also big and clean although my favourite thing about the pool is that it's near enough to my house that I can stroll home for a post-swim shower.

Having walked passed the gates to York Hall I was pleased to have a good reason to enter through…read morethe boxing entrance tonight - my first ever Book Slam, and what an amazing experience it was. Not quite sure where they hide the swimming pool mentioned by so many other reviewers as the main space is dedicated to boxing. Tonight's event made the most of it with a number of boxing-related performances. Once we found a seat at this sold out event, we joined the food queue. Big disappointment as they had stopped serving and we missed out on jerk chicken and lamb stew. Unfortunately, the promise of taking orders for the interval turned out to be an empty one ... Joined the drinks queue instead and enjoyed a liquid dinner of cheap wine - from tiny bottles - they had run out of full sized ones ... classy drinkers these book reading folk! Somehow this slight sense of chaos went well with the surroundings which reminded us of better times long gone. It was a magical evening alround.

I got to York Hall to swim, having found that it's run by the same people as manage Ironmonger Row…read moreBaths so I'm automatically a member of both centres as well as loads of others, which is awesome. Compared to shiny new refurbished Ironmonger, York Hall is a bit grotty. The changing rooms look fairly dirty (bring flip flops!) and your 20p for the locker is not returned. Also it's 20p for a hairdryer! I also didn't really like that there were fairly old boys getting changed in there with their mums. I'm not particularly precious about that kind of stuff in general, but it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The pool itself is huge and the medium lane is 3 lane widths which means you have an overtaking lane. I thought this would make my swim a lot easier than at Ironmonger where there's a lot of traffic but you tend to get people randomly floating about which messes the whole thing up. I don't understand why (a) they don't figure out they should just go to the giant designated slow lane and (b) why the staff don't say anything. Stressful. Overall though it's a very good pool and as it's super convenient to me I'll keep going. The whole historic/boxing side is really cool, too!

King's Hall is a quality leisure centre located close to Hackney Central. Although I walk past it…read moremost days, I didn't even know this place existed until not long ago. There is a full range of facilities on offer such as a 25 metre swimming pool, a health suite and a sports hall. There are also 5-a-side football competitions and group exercise classes on offer. I went in to enquire about swimming prices, and the staff were all really friendly. It would cost you 4 pounds per trip to the pool, or 26 pounds for a month of unlimited access. I guess you just have to way up how much you would use it. Not being much of a swimmer, I will probably fork out the 4 pounds every now and again. It's nice to know it's there though.

As the photo shows, this place does not look like your typical leisure centre. Where I'm from…read more(Essex, don't judge me on that fact alone), swimming pools, sports centres, etc all look like big ugly square boxes. These square boxes have big windows on many of the sides so that as you walk past you get to see fat kids running, bombing, diving, petting and all those other things that the posters tell you not to do. And these kids are fat as you have to go to the cafe straight after for chips. Lots of chips. Anyway back to the subject in hand....the outside really makes you wonder how such a fancy but small fronted building in the middle of a regular busy road in Hackney can fit in a swimming pool, sports hall and gym in it. But it does. Everything in the building is clean, smart and tidy. Just the type place you want to come and spend a sweaty hour or two. The staff are really helpful and friendly too. Only down side is the pool is a little run down looking. But if you let your goggles fog up just a little bit, you don't notice a thing. It's not bad, it's just not what you'd find in a 5* hotel. And I haven't found anything dodgy floating in the water, so that's a big bonus! And there isn't a cafe or vending machine to be found, so you dont have to worry about undoing all of your hard calorie burning hard work by the sweet smell of chips. This pool is going to become my second home (new swim membership novelty has yet to fade) so come watch me swim, this week a pool in Hackney, next week the Channel. See you all in Calais
