You can pay as you go. ?6 but you need to say you've had an induction at one of their gyms. I used it this winter as I needed to get some miles in and it was when the snow was really bad. I rang up their main number and was told it was fine but had to argue the point when I got to the front desk. Don't expect the recption people to be helpful.

I believe the pool is closed: the planning notice for building work at the site (last year?) referred to plans to demolish it - good idea for a sports speciality college.

Sports Centre - having failed to get through on the phone, my 15 year old and friend set off in trepidation to attempt to book a badminton court one day during the school holidays, assuming it would be booked up with play schemes etc. Although his card, that would have given a slight discount, turned out to be out of date, they were surprised to find the process straight forward, - several of the staff there are really quite helpful, - it is ?9 for a court for an hour, and they had a good game.

    • @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?    
    • There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.
    • A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944
    • Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
