Newly added soft play is massive! The biggest slide runs from the reception all the way to the ground floor. I feel there could be a bit more padding on the floor. The rock climbing section and soft play for bigger kids looked cool too. More...

Quite a dirty, dusty venue with poor lighting but great facilities, also i found it rather odd being locked in and then unlocked to come out but i gues that's Brixton for you!!

What keeps me going at this gym? My instructor and the quality of the fitness classes I attend 4 times a week with him. Apart from that the place needs to be seriously revamped. Health and safety is a concern. Today I have been attacked by a customer for no reason. I reported to both police and gym manager as it is unacceptable to go to the gym to have fun/chill and some people feel the right to assault you for nothing on the demise. For me this is a serious concern and I hope they resolve it. Please stay safe! More...

Whilst i can see this leisure centre is finally getting some much needed improvements. It is still not up to standard. The lifts have been out of order since last year. The changing areas were freeezing! Other users were also complaining, so i know this wasn't just me. The changing cubicles themselves were clean, but the toilets were either broken or dirty. The pool had all black gritty stuff at the bottom. The lifeguards look like they don't want to be there and the front of house staff i spoke to were very unhelpful. I guess Brixton rec is ok for basics but its is outdated and in need of a major overhaul. More...

Really disappointed the first thing Lambeth Council did on taking over is raising the kids soft play prices. Rather mean! I hope at least this means more cleaning and upkeep ? Honestly hoped you would help the kids of Brixton and reduce not increase the prices. More...

I am a thourough user of the gym part of the building. Been coming here for around 6 months. I had nothing to complain about except the horrendous music choices but that was fixed when Lambeth started owning the centre. This is the reason why I do not come anymore. Lambeth buying the place is very bad because I also use other Better group gyms and this change of owner truly ruins my day. Having 2 memberships is just too expensive and Lambeth is not hesitating to make people empty their pockets for less overall adventages as Better I truly am dissapointed to have to leave that place in which I did most of my early progress.

I used to love coming here until Lambeth took over. Having a Better nationwide membership and living between Brixton and Vauxhall, Vauxhall was my home center but I often came here and loved swim doctor by Joe. However, since April 1st, I am expected to get 2 memberships in order to access this center or any other one in Lambeth (except Vauxhall). The staff haven’t been friendly when I called to explain my situation and I was denied access to this center. Tragedy for Better members and the general health of the center. They should’ve let original Better nationwide members keep accessing this center without having to spend more £££. More...

Great, cheap facilities with helpful staff. There is a gym, women’s only gym (at specific times), a sports hall, a swimming pool, a sauna and showers and hair dryers. Great value all inclusive gym!

Its a bit shambolic with the transfer to Active Lambeth. Hopefully things will improve, but the transfer has been poorly managed. You can't login to book, when you can login expected sessions don't show, and no one answers the phone to help. The icing on the cake is that the prices have gone up. Genius, Lambeth Council at its best, make the services unusable, then you can cull them later on because no one is using them? More...

I went to the soft play with my toddler daughter and it was very nice. The soft play is quite big and we had a good time. I need to explore further the Recreation centre, but from what I could see, it's very good . There are some areas that are not being used for some time, which is a shame, but overall it all looks in good shape. More...

Used to be good but horrible now. The gates don’t work since the switch to Active Lambeth and everyone goes in and out as they please. Locker broken into and valuables stolen within a 30 minute swim - the only thing I got from the centre was an apology email. Gym equipment is not in the best condition but gets the job done. Avoid at all costs. More...

Used to be passable but now introduced 40 min "light tokens" for squash courts. So if the group before you are 20 mins late, you have to wait for them to finish. Awful system, just to stop people staying a few extra minutes if the courts was free. Maybe spend that money on cleaning the absolutely disgusting toilets. More...

Fantastic that places like this operate - there is so much on offer. It could use a bit of care and attention because it's a bit tatty in places.

Update: they also switched off the heating (there is -2 degrees outside). Every winter the showers are cold for weeks and this year there was no exception to this tradition. The staff is useless, they don't't know the reason and when it will be fixed, even if you escalate the complaint noboby ever respond you. There is no running water in the urinals and you can smell the stinks from meters away, the family cubicles are rotten and dirty like stall. It's a pity that the place is so poorly managed as the centre as a lot to offer, More...
