1 / 3Loxford Leisure Centre
📍 Ilford, Greater London
Leisure centre with swimming pools, football coaching sessions for school-age children, gym, and various activities. Indoor and outdoor areas with parking and pram access.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who want structured football coaching alongside swimming. Coaches receive strong praise and the centre is used multiple times weekly by regular families. Check the pool temperature and changing room conditions on your first visit — feedback on maintenance is inconsistent.

“Amazing leisure centre, kids friendly, I use this place at least twice a week, weather it’s football swimming or other activities. The staffs here are great and very helpful. I don’t want to mention any names.”

“Loxford Leisure Centre is a great place for kids, and my children go there every Thursday for football. The girls’ session runs from 5:30 to 6:30, which I believe is mainly for Year 6 students, and the boys’ sessions run from 6:30 to 8:00 with three different activities. It’s an excellent way to keep the kids busy, active, and engaged. The staff are amazing—very friendly, kind, and helpful. The coaches are great with the kids and create a positive environment for them to learn and enjoy the sport. I really appreciate their hard work and the way they interact with all the children. One suggestion I have is to provide some extra activities for siblings who are waiting. For example, while my daughter is in her session at 5:30, my son has to wait with nothing to do until his session starts at 6:30. And when my son finishes at 8:00, my daughter ends up waiting as well. I remember they used to have tennis activities before, and something like that—any indoor activity—would be really helpful for siblings who are waiting around. Other than that, it’s a fantastic place to take your kids, and I highly recommend it.”

“Good center. There should be a pay-as-you-go option, or if members want to cancel their membership, they shouldn't be charged for 4 weeks in advance.”
