St George's Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I had a horrible accident and needed a pool to use after. I had never been before, having been a member of a private gym - and was extremely nervous. They were so friendly and kind. I still go. Lovely big pool. Friendly staff. Cleaner than most public pools that have the same use. Highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: I had a great time here. The pool is wide and clean. The instructors are nice and polite. And most of all - really helpful.
Fantastic experience: It is without doubt, in my opinion the best pool in Tower Hamlets or even perhaps London, for many reasons. It may not have the best facilities, but the pool itself is light and open,with big windows above pool level, you can swim and watch the sunset! The staff are amazing, it has a really homely feel. I have been going there for years, since my kids were small. I go very regularly and have recently started using the gym, there are no airs and graces, it is very welcoming and they will try to accomodate everyone as far as is humanly possible. The lifeguards are more than staic observers, they will step in to give a hand, teach kids, help omeone out. the reception staff will notice if you look happy or sad, and take time to ask about how you are, the teaching staff are fantastic, I hobestly cannot recommend St Georges enough. They also set6 the pool up creatively, lanes on one side, big open swimming space on another, go there, it is great.
Fantastic experience: Lovely pool for non professionals. Three lanes for slow, medium and fast swimmers. Very friendly lifeguards. Some receptionist are a bit rude. Membership for the pool is 29 per month.
Fantastic experience: We wanna our pool back
Fantastic experience: please guys, reopen the pool!
Fantastic experience: Excellent and well-needed community resource, hugely missed since its temporary closure. Particularly enjoyed the friendly and supportive adult swimming lessons here.
Fantastic experience: We really miss this pool it’s great. Seriously needs to reopen soon what are members paying for? The other local pools are not a great alternative at the moment- Mile End is small and overcrowded. York Hall is out of use for several months due to structural work. London fields lido still has only outdoor changing- no indoor changing or hairdryers so not suitable before work or for those who need a hairdryer and even if you can manage without that it’s difficult to book a slot peak time.. London aquatics centre has cleared the bulk of the daytime schedule in the 50m competition pool to run aqua splash and is now not open till late at weekends as it was pre-pandemic. Appreciate times are difficult but the community needs this place sorely and it should be a priority to get this place up and running again.
Fantastic experience: Please please reopen this pool, the staff was so nice, the pool large, it could have done with a refurbishment but the nearest pool for kids now is at Poplar and it’s so bad with rude and lame swimming teachers. it really made me appreciate St George’s pool and what we had.
