I recall the leisure center from when it was just plain old Staines swimming pool. Then it was redeveloped into a leisure center.

The prices are higher than in neighboring Hounslow Council leisure facilities and the center looks tired and ready for redevelopment. Managed by a private company and no longer directly by Spelthorne Borough Council. read more
