Chelsea Sports Centre

Very well maintained pool with a period charm about it. I like the frieze at the deep-end depicting a few swimmers and a Victorian couple surveying the view. The insistence on showering before swimming is very welcome as not all 'Better' pools are so good on this. Minor quibbles amount to personal preference : the pool is a tiny bit too warm and i much prefer open plan showers to the cubicle type though might not be practical given the mixed changing rooms. Would definitely come back if i'm in the area.

Gym is well-equiped. The pool and gym have natural light that makes workouts pleasant. The showers, on the other hand, stop running after ten seconds and the knob needs pressing throughout the shower.
