The Castle Centre

Fantastic experience: Nice but someone should change the time on the clock in the sports hall.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, staff to support and free swimming lessons for residents of Southwark

Positive experience: Basic gym which does the job however customer service could be better and the upkeep of facilities. This gym is good for beginners starting out as it is not overwhelming and unlike other gyms it's not all eyes on you, everyone is just getting along with their workouts in peace :)

Positive experience: Good vibe and clean. However, the machines are so old and rusty - I would say around 70% of them. Some have a broken adjustable bar, others don't work smoothly. In fact, literally every single leg machine has a fault. I think this is ridiculous for a mid-priced gym like this one to have so many broken machines.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, well maintained and clean. Lots of facilities and classes i haven't used yet but fully intend to. This place is very affordable if you can manage to pay for the whole year. The staff a very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Some mixed reviews on here about customer service but all I can say is give Russell a raise! He went above and beyond

Fantastic experience: I always go here swinning. It's a great centre but the hairdryer are constantly broken!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Been using this Centre for years now but suddenly they have decided to stop Lane swimming! Why? This was a time when serious swimmers could do lengths in fast, slow or medium lanes. We are now bumping into each other and I cannot do my lengths with ease. Thought we were supposed to be encouraging keeping fit not just playing around in the pool. This is ridiculous!

Fantastic experience: Save environment, complying with the covid 19 regulations

Fantastic experience: Recently ( Last 5ish years) renovated gym with great facilities and an awesome pool. The gym is part of southwark everyone active so free access to residents on set times during the weekend. They also have competitive membership offers routinely making it a well-priced centrally located gym. Good range of classes and private PT sessions (Also very affordable btw!) offered.

Fantastic experience: The staff are amazing. Great place to enjoy the Gym.

Fantastic experience: Very clean nice staff

Fantastic experience: Great class and the Centre is being well managed and adhering to all the health and safety measures.

Fantastic experience: Purpose built modern health and leisure centre added as part of the Elephant & Castle regeneration by the developers. Comes complete with 2 pools, gym, weights room, sauna & steam rooms and good opening hours well into the evening. Admission costs are reasonable, but one cannot help a feeling that this is about image & PR for the face of the regeneration, as clearly there are numerous issues that require attention. Will give 5 stars for the concept, the location and the building itself, as the other issues can be put right.

Fantastic experience: Very nice building and facilities. Everyone is friendly, I’ve been having a lot o fun there.

Fantastic experience: I have been to the Castle Centre today 21/07/2019 with my boyfriend and received a fantastic customer service from the receptionist/host who served us at the till at 19:30. He helped us choose swimming accessories as well and was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would give him 5 stars for his service. I enjoy going to the Castle swimming pool and the sauna on a regular basis. The water is just the right temperature and the centre is open till 22:00 most days and very accessible. It would be good if the centre introduced a membership for just the swimming pool and sauna. Perhaps something to think about?

Fantastic experience: I’m a member and proud! U can conveniently join any class using their app. Very nice!

Fantastic experience: Not bad!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere inside the building staff very friendly and helpful. It has a sport hall where you can play badminton and basketball. There is a swimming pool for adults and children. There is a gymnasium for those who like to exercise and build muscle. It has a really good cafe which sell all sorts of food and drinks.

Fantastic experience: Very good leisure centre for the whole family, caters to everyone

Fantastic experience: My child goes there for the holiday club" fit for sport' and he loves it.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a swim...not busy either

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, always in here every second day getting a nice juicy pump!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff - personal teachers are shining stars . Get in to the class with Deborah, she is the best

Fantastic experience: Very nice pool! If you live in the neighbourhood, you can get a free membership card to give you access on Fri, Sat and Sun during certain hours. Definitely worth a visit :-)

Fantastic experience: Crystal is a diamond; scuse the pun. I went in for an induction with Someone feeling quite anxious & she put them right at ease with her friendly approach. Very thorough. Also the gym is nice & clean

Fantastic experience: The centre is a few years old. The reception looks nice with seating and they also serve food. The prices however I believe are a bit high. Another downside as well having only one toilet to serve quite a lot of people which makes a queue. I have not visited the gym, but the swimming pool however small and it gets a bit crowded, is state of the art.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility's for the whole family. Clean areas also.

Fantastic experience: Go every weekend clean and nice place to go

Fantastic experience: Fantastic premises+gym+pool with sauna+steam rooms. Excellent value plus Personal Trainers essential for novices for at least 3 sessions to learn how to use vast array equipment and machines safely and to work out a personal plan to follow.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and kind and helpful staff. 25m pool and well equiped gym. Looks quite new. Cafe onsite and hair dryer

Fantastic experience: Great facility with latest equipment

Fantastic experience: I like to go to this gym, however I can see the cleaners don't do their job properly, soon it will get worse and worse if they don't fix this problem. Some of the workers, with all my respect, don't speak English at all. No wonder if they don't do proper job if they don't know what had been told to them to be done. Pretty nice facility, although very busy during the weekend.

Fantastic experience: A leisure centre that really makes a difference!

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Very good leisure center and Gym. Huge badminton court and basketball court. The cwbtre can get busy and some of the customers who frequent this Centre are rude hence aome of the negative reviews. I personally love this place.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, clean, new. I never thought I'd be happy swimming a public leisure centre in elephant and castle 3 times a week but this has allowed me to vary my exercise regime and I'm very happy. The Pilates classes here are also brilliant.

Fantastic experience: The general manager Chris Yearley is doing a fantastic job. There has been a massive improvement with staffing. The gym refurbishment is amazing and instigated by the feedback of members.

Fantastic experience: It really a lovely place to go swimming

Fantastic experience: Nice and new facilities! good place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Great classes and really cool looking gym

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Staff very friendly! Russell gave us a fantastic induction to the centre.

Fantastic experience: The Elephant and Castle centre has loads of availability for young and adults especially who are just getting into sports swimming or any other athletics the staff there are quite nice Street in rules and health and safety is there first priority

Fantastic experience: It's a nice gym. Big and clean. Try to avoid free gym and swimming time as there would be a lot, a lot people.

Fantastic experience: New gym, free for Southwark residents all day Friday, and after 2pm weekends!

Fantastic experience: Staff are extremely friendly, great customer service and great place.

Fantastic experience: Great fitness place. Nice people doing workout. It's a fitness place and not a muscle pumping gym

Fantastic experience: Beautiful views good transports and sports leisure centre .

Fantastic experience: It was great swimming pool but didn't know what time the actual swimming pool close

Fantastic experience: Fast and efficient when searching for relevant information and no pop ups!!!!

Fantastic experience: So great to have a swimming pool newly opened in this area. It's clean and not too busy (maybe people don't yet realise it's actually open eventually!). Includes sauna and steam room. Changing rooms are quite small but that's the only complaint. Lockers take £1 (refundable)
