A true treasure!…read more Don't be alarmed when you rock up to this leisure centre on a weekend morning and it looks like a que for a nightclub snaking outside. If that nightclub were a leisure centre, and those waiting were bleary eyed parents and wide-awake children and other small people strapped in prams. Just like that. It'll move (sort of) fast and mainly it's because the entrance isn't really built for the mass number of buggies being jammed through all at once. It's also because the people that work at the desk are at the best unhelpful and at the worst an impediment to general progress. But do not fret -- If you have a kid (like everyone else in Stokey) -- Clissold Leisure Centre is going to be a lifesaver. I even trek from "way down south N1" for my fix at Clissold 1-2x per week when I can make it. Why? *Clean, bright and newly refurbished. It's got updated facilities, lots of classes, smart equipment, a huge pool and viewing area, etc. It's ultra kid-friendly. It has a cafe! It has coffee! It has everything you might ever want. *Toddler World: huge soft play are they run in the Sports Hall several mornings per week. (extra charge of about 5 quid per kid) *Toddler Pool: self-explanatory. Warm, shallow, toys included. and really, most importantly... *THE CRECHE. Free childcare (members benefit) for your child, up to 2 hours while you get some non-toddler time in. I use it to hit a yoga class or just, ya know, workout and clear my brain after TODDLER WORLD/TODDLER POOL overload. Location is excellent, very near Clissold Park which is 5-stars in its own right. Transit options are a bit limited (sigh, Stoke Newington's only downside?) but I typically take the bus to Newington Green and walk 10 minutes. The only downside is the staff -- which is pretty basic and perfunctory at all of the Better Leisure Centres, but I deal with them more often at Clissold and it is usually painful. But if you've got your member card and aren't booking in for anything special (when you book the creche online you STILL have to wait in a que to get a printed receipt to show you've paid to take the creche - MEH, annoying), otherwise you can skip along and get to your workout. The top floor workout is pretty kid-free, so don't be too worried. I'm a month-to-month member with Better with access to all the clubs. My husband also has this so we get a slight discount and it comes to about £54/month each. If you ever need to sign up or change anything its a huge pain in the ass...so overall I'll give the bureaucracy and staff (and rude parents in the cafe) a low score here but everything else i've been really happy with. So, 4 stars!

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.

A large sports hall has different activities at different times but I usually play badminton though you can join things like a 5 a side league. There's a well equipped gym upstairs. All available for a fraction of the price of one of the posh chains. Another cool thing is that they offer discounts to hospital staff.

I mostly used the swimming pool and hire the badminton courts a few times. To hire the courts, it's quite cheap, it might of changed now but it was around a tenner between two people for 2 hours. Not bad... It's usually quite quiet on a Sunday afternoon. The swimming pool is a really good size. However, the pool gets really busy with Mums and babies in the afternoon so I'd suggest going in the morning or the evening. I liked this place. It's got a nice family feel but isn't always hugely busy which is a nice change as most London gyms can be pretty heaving more of the time. A nice, cheap alternative to the bigger, corporate gyms...

I tolerated it for a while just because I live nearby, now moved to a different leisure centre, different company, much happier, never stepped in Latchmere centre (or any DC centre) ever again.
