Highbury Leisure Centre

“Visited the pool today, and very impressed! I came a few years ago and it was generally quite dirty, especially in the wet side changing rooms. But today it was very nice, totally clean throughout, and the pool is kept very clean too. This makes it a really nice experience. I'm pleased that they make everyone take their shoes off after passing through the barrier, clearly making a huge difference. Also nice that the lanes were set up effectively. Two lanes were used for teaching, and there was a wide slow lane and a normal sized medium and fast lane. Just made it easier to swim. When they used to have a wide medium lane it was a big mix of slow and medium swimmers. Normal sized lanes are better so thanks for this. Have just renewed my better swim membership and looking forward to visiting again soon.”

“I absolutely LOVE living near this... I absolutely LOVE living near this leisure centre — it's honestly the heartbeat of the community. I'm there so often | feel like I should have my own locker! The staff are genuinely lovely - welcoming, friendly, and always smiling — but I have to give a massive, glitter-covered shout-out to Anya. She is an absolute STAR. The MARVELLOUS instructor. The bringer of energy. The queen of "just one more sprint!" Her spin classes are brilliant, high-energy, and ridiculously fun. You leave sweaty, slightly wobbly.... and somehow already looking forward to the next one. Give the spin a go - fun, great music, and just the right mix of "I can do this!" and "why did I sign up for this?!" — in the best possible way.”

“I visit here a few times a week as I find it a nice place for using the steam room and sauna. 🧖‍♀️♨️ It's never that busy, and I have tried weekdays and weekends. 🗓️ The men's changing room is quite spacious, so I'm not getting in other people's way too much, and the showers are private cubicles and not openly communal. 🚿 The health suite is clean and tidy, and I find people using it respect that and use it respectfully too. ✨ I'm new to using the gym, so I found it not intimidating at all. 💪 Even on my first visit, staff showed me around and even gave me a locker token. 🔑”
