Decent changing rooms, top of the range kit and even its own shop. Friendly knowledgable staff, and a good cup of tea always available! They have loads of kit on hire and the sails will be already rigged up for you, so you can pop along after work and go straight onto the water. What more could you ask for? If you get really hungry and you have a bit of dosh to spare you could always pop off down the road to ' The Fat Duck'.......

It has a massive car park which is just 30p for 4 hours which covers most activities with time to spare. It's easy to get to as long as the motorway is flowing OK. It can get very busy after work, about 5pm, and you can end uo having to park quite a way away. The activities are generally well priced especially if you have a membership card which is available for locals and non locals.

I took a 5-week intro class at the Southwark location. For £125, I thought it was great value. Each…read moresession is about 2.5 hours. I really liked my instructor, and I'm kicking myself now that I CAN'T remember his name (I swear this is a reflection on me, because I am AWFUL with names). The classes are very fun and the hours zoom by. If you're a bit competitive like me though, sometimes you forget that everyone is there to learn and have fun ;) Anyway, we were divided into two groups that generally stayed together for the entire duration of lessons. For the earlier sessions there is a lot of emphasis on safety and practicing technique, but for the later sessions you can expect to be shooting for the majority of the time on the floor. There's naturally a bit of standing around because you have to take turns with the target board, but I actually enjoy that with team sports because you get to know your teammates. My fellow coursemates were lovely, and we all got on well enough that we planned to join the club together and shoot more in the future. You have to attend pretty much every class to get the intro certification in order to join the club. That seems fair though -- when people are shooting pointy things at high speeds, you want to make sure that everyone knows what they're doing, at some basic level at least! I haven't been to the London Bridge range yet but one of these days, I will get my butt down there...

It's sad that the cafeteria has fallen into disrepair and had to close down as well as the toilets. The council should get into action to fix those issues.

It's well maintained and the greens look immaculate. The nine holes are quite challenging and the course is nestled amongst some beautiful parkland. The prices are reasonable, about £4.00 for a round, which lasts for as long as you want it to, depeding on your standard and how many of you playing. If you don't have your own club you can hire one. The staff good fun and always willing to offer some advice, if you're a novice player like me. I've played here a few times, and always found it to be a very enjoyable way of killing a couple of hours on a slow Sunday afternoon.

Only been once so far, for a Wednesday evening drop-in paddling session down the Regents Canal, but…read morethis seems like a great club. There was a big crowd (maybe 25 people?), and while things weren't totally streamlined, the staff was friendly and got everyone sorted out in reasonably short order. Everyone got their own kayak or open canoe, double-ended paddle (although they ran out of right-handed adult paddles by the time I got to the front of the queue), and life vest. We all piled into the canal and floated around for a bit while the guides gave a quick safety spiel and then we were off, heading towards Victoria Park. The group spread out pretty widely, with the enthusiastic youngsters blazing on ahead, splashing each other, and causing a ruckus, and the old people like me lagging behind. We paddled a couple miles downstream, portaging around the one lock we encountered, before we turned around and returned. Good times! My favorite staffer, by the way, was Chris, who was amiable, unhurried, and had his enthusiastic blue and white dog Gracie along for the ride, but everyone I spoke with was very nice. The weather was excellent, the water was calm, and the canal was not busy. For £3, on a nice evening, this is a tough experience to beat for some relaxed exercise. I'll certainly be back.

I opted to do my pool work on a one to one basis and the price premium for this was very reasonable. Everyone was very friendly and patient throughout the whole course, they are all clearly passionate about diving and I find it's always best to be taught by someone who loves the subject because they go out of their way to try and engender the same love for it in their students. Equipment was good (I didn't drown, that's good enough for me). The shop was well stocked and the advice they offered was weighted towards what would suit my needs best rather than what would earn them the most money which isn't always the case with these sorts of companies. The course was well led, I felt totally safe the whole time and I came away confident in the skills they had passed on to me. If I could go back to the start I would choose Divecrew again.
