Mile End Park Leisure Centre

I have been going here now for two years and I have to say prior to that there are many gyms that claim to be very exclusive and they are over-rated as Mile End probably equal similar ratings. Very modern and spacious (pool reminds me of a Japanese pool) and the best time to swim is probably in the mornings and the cleanliness is similar to any 5 star gym. However you have to avoid going around 5-8pm as the locals do not really care for where the bins are. But majority of the time it is excellent in terms of size of the pool and the changing rooms are fairly good.

Swimming pool is very clean. The whole facility looks brand new and modern. On-site parking £1. Approachable staff.

This is a local gym run by Tower hamlets. Which means the staff a fairly inept but it is cheap and clean. Membership is less than £1 a day. It also has a pool.

Massive bonus for ladies is that there is a Ladies only gym. This is to allow for the larg muslim population in the area. There is hardly ever anyone in there so it's great. On certain nights there is Ladies only swimming which my friends and I call "Quimswim". Between7pm and 10pm on a Thursday and some other times there is Quim Swim. The pool is fairly empty by 9pm. It's great.
