This place is very popular. Because it's cheap, there's a decent supply of hot young dudes. Also, the outdoor pool is very cool for London: warm even in winter! There is also a smaller indoor pool, gym and sauna. This is a very cruisy place. It will hit you instantly. Homoeroticism is everywhere. It costs about ?2 to get in.
Crowd: Although this is a local council facility, this place is clearly a predominantly gay hangout. It is VERY busy! High turnover of hot gym/swimmers' bodies. About 30% are late 20s, with the odd younger guy. Mostly, people go there for a swim (whether gay or not), rather than ! But there's always opportunity.
Facilities: Outdoor & Indoor pool, gym, sauna
Neighbourhood: Covent Garden/ Bloomsbury

Cross street: Shaftesbury Ave./Endell St. - Hours:Monday to Friday 6:30am - 10:00pm
Saturday and Sunday 9:30am - 6:00pm
Best times: Busiest lunchtimes, or from early evening, as people finish work -then keeps busy till closing time. Probably peaks around 7pm. - Cruising Info/ Tips:Have heard guys getting off in the changing room toilets. Maintain eye contact, smile & maybe start conversation. This could lead to a quick shag, or a drink outside and maybe an invitation to have at a guy's place. Guys also check each other out when resting in the pool end.
Cruisiest Spots: Towards the middle of the changing room. Don't know about the rest of the centre (eg. gym, sauna), but have been told there is plenty of action there too. This is probably the most active gay gym in London. - Nudity / Policy:Yes / Nudity in showers, visible to all. Plenty of eye-contact & quick side glances..
- Wheelchair Accessible:No
- Warnings:The changing rooms stink; it needs refurbishing! Also, guys can often seem pretentious and stuck-up. If you choose to swim, you better swim fast and hard: the pool is busy, and people sometimes swim with aggro!
