Kensington Leisure Centre: Opinions

4.9/5 (54 Opinions)
Belinda M-I 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a children's party here in the soft play area and, afterwards, in a private room. The staff were great and everyone had a great time.

Rhian Soulsby-Cole 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I love this swimming pool, and my husband loves the gym. The staff are always wonderful and friendly, being very accommodating if there's a lost pass. In the shadow of Grenfell, with a direct view to the site from the gym, so very good motivation to get stronger to get even with the Tories!! That being said, there are some very touching tributes to the fire around, and it has become a community hub for those affected. I enjoy coming here, be it as a user or someone who has to wait for their husband in the small but nice cafe.

Takdhir Hassan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Took my niece swimming here, the centre, area and people are lovely. I was impressed by the changing rooms, it has large multiple family change areas which brought a piece of mind when changing as I didn't have to separate from my niece as it was her first time swimming. The 3 pools are great from splash pool for toddlers or parents looking to splash their feet and get kids comfortable with water or the training pool which is a perfect height and temperature to teach children to swim. The main pool has a wonderful large area for non swimmers as well as 8 lanes to accommodate others with jump boards. Also great for families to use the stands and watched loved ones swim. My niece loved it and learnt to swim here so an experience this lovely leisure pool gave us ❤

Fantastic experience: I used to take my son every Sunday to swimming..at the beginning he scared of pool but they helped him much ..and naw my son expert ..all stuff friendly and helpful

Joey B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A great, huge leisure centre with everything: gym with classes, gigantic studios, full spa, swimming pools, basketball courts, squash courts, table tennis, badminton, three sets of showers and changing rooms each for men and women, cafe, friendly staff. My only complaints are that in the men's changing rooms there are regularly signs up saying that a female attendant is cleaning which wouldn't be acceptable if it were a male attendant in female changing rooms and shouldn't be acceptable to have women in the men's, and they also have video surveillance inside the men's changing rooms due to a high level of crime (theft) which is not well advertised to customers and in my opinion isn't the right solution.

Positive experience: This is a good sports centre for families and schools. But as someone with a disability it's not been a happy experience. And because of this I've been trying to cancel my membership. Still waiting for a reply...

nicky-07 2 years ago

Positive experience: Good gym Plenty of choice of equipment as rule not too busy. Quite why they have most uninspiring TV channels (news or watching paint dry) can't quite work out - does not exactly energise. Good music but too quiet

Lorna Gardner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tia, the young lady, at the front desk is the epitome of top quality, customerservice. She was so friendly and helpful. I had so many questions and she just smiled and answered them all extremelyefficiently. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is amazing, all the people who are swimming or in yoga are helpful and nice and friendly. I had the best time ever. There are 3 pools. The rest of the facilities look absolutely fantastic plus it's cheaper than other places. I will definitely make going back a regular thing.

John Castle (JC) 2 years ago

Sam Spam 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this pool, it's spacious with lots of light and always clean. The staff are happy to help.

Tim Evans 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just went for my first post lockdown swim you can book your time slot via the Better app. If you scan your membership card more than 5 minutes ahead of your time slot it will not let you in. It is totally worth going you get plenty of space to yourself and social distancing is easy. I amazed at how much thought has been put into keeping people safe. I highly recommend that you make a visit yourself.

Claudie Baum 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Kensington Leisure Centre is fantastic and they've done a great job of adapting to the COVID regulations so that you feel safe while moving through the building and to your activity seamlessly. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the one-way system is really well signposted. Swimming there is wonderful.

Ferdinand Van De Kamp 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Pool is amazing!!! And the whole place as well. It was my first time here and the guy at the desk helped me with the app and my booking. All the corona measures to keep people safe are cool as well I prefer it this way cause pool doesn't get overcrowded.

Aalya Moses 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym for me by far I've tried a few but this one beats them all, cleaniness excellent, equipment brilliant and staff very polite and helpful they have a sauna service too where you can get fully pampered as well as a very big swimming pool and one for the children this leisure centre is most definitely family orientated with a functional canteen with sitting area and play area for the little ones.

Laurence Bennett 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and helpful staff. However the sauna and steam room are off limits without additional £15 VIP payment and confusing timetable, not happy about feeling excluded

Evelyn Blake 4 years ago

Sarah Lynch 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to the Spa, fabulous treatments by young professionals. Had a great massage with my friend thanks to an offer on Treatwell. The spa is quite small, but they limit the numbers accordingly. We went Sunday morning and there was only 3 other ppl using the facilities. There was a steam room and sauna wbich could each hold 4 ppl. There was also a jacuzzi which could hold 4 ppl.

Terry Quinn 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Kensington Leisure Centre has three swimming pools from toddlers to lane swimmers, indoor courts, a gym and large exercise rooms with mats and tools for pilates, yoga and aerobics classes. The changing rooms are large, clean and secure and the staff are helpful and friendly. The instructors are highly trained and there is a good range of classes. There is a luxury spa upstairs and the centre is an excellent asset for the community.

Hicham Jabrane 5 years ago

Katie Milioto 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely family friendly swimming pool with a nice family and baby pool. Have been going there for over 2 years since my daughter was born and have always been happy. Very clean, tidy changing rooms and decent price as well. Highly recommended as not many like that around.

Helen Bui 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Girlies spa day: very nice, very clean, fantastic experience and a range of treatments. It was small but it was really nice because it made the place very cosy and relaxing. We all had an enjoyable experience with the back massage and facial treatment. I would 100% give this place an A* and will be visiting again.

d. wynter 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing afternoon spend at the thermal spa. Was here for 4 hours (!). First was able to use the main pool, did my 40 laps. Then went up to the thermal spa, lovely jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and relaxation lounge with herbal tea and fruit + fancy magazines. You are then called through for your treatment. I had the 50 minute Elemis facial - absolute bliss. All this for £45! A 30min facial alone in London would be £80+!! Definitely coming back, thank you all who work here. Friendly staff too!

Angus MacGowan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: New, excellent facilities. As good as you will find in London. Clean changing rooms, a family/learning pool, a toddlers pool, and a training 25m pool. Slightly odd session times on the weekends, so find out how these work online before turning up.

weeleelee 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff are terrific - especially Jeff. The reception staff are on the ball and the manager (Stephen?) is a good guy. The pool could be cleaned more frequently but that's the only fault I can find. These guys seriously pulled it together for Grenfell and they are still doing their bit. So, yay for them.

Alexander Harrison 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place! It's so spacious and the swimming pool makes for a beautiful swim. The gym is well spread out so you don't feel like you're training on top of people and the staff are so helpful!

Graeme English 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great 25m pool for exercising- and open til 10 which is helpful. Would be nice if it was longer but it's nicely designed and very clean. Staff were friendly.

Antoine Larreche 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great facility, very affordable prices. Not much can go wrong here. We ended up sharing some of the space with other people (the gymnasium is divided in slots but some can overlap a bit). Very nice atmosphere and nice staff.

Christopher White 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic new sports facility that has got swimming pool gym rooms for yoga, pilates, and other exercise classes including spinning. You can play squash here badminton basketball indoor sports events are held here. There is a coffee and snack area ,a place where parents can watch their children in the swimming pool. Plus It has a sauna and massage suite.

Gill Crowe 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's a shame some of the staff bring down the reputation because the facilities are fantastic, we've only used the pools so far, just brilliant for small children, a splash/paddling pool and a training pool, warm and clean, and fantastic family change rooms. We love coming here !
