Great pool, I go on weekday evenings and although its busy you can still get a good swim session in. Also I feel the centre has got the right balance of ensuring that swimclubs/lessons dont take over the pool my local swim in Glassmills lewisham does a terrible job at this. Lockers are bring your own padlock which is helpful as well

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking central London swimming with a reliable lane-to-lesson balance. Weekday evenings are praised for remaining usable even when busy. The venue has had inconsistent entry enforcement reported by some members β€” confirming current access policies before enrolling for a recurring membership is advisable. No on-site parking.

β€œI visited Marshall Street Leisure Centre for a swim, and I must say it’s one of the most disappointing pools I’ve encountered. Firstly, the shape and depth of the pool are problematic-the shallowest part is just 0.90 meters, which makes it difficult to swim comfortably if you're tall, as your hands constantly touch the floor. While that may be hard to change structurally, the cleanliness is something that absolutely can be addressed. Unfortunately, the cleaning appears to be minimal to nonexistent. There’s visible rust along the walls and at the bottom of the pool, which is quite concerning. I’m genuinely surprised to see this level of neglect in a facility located in the heart of London.”

β€œDo you really want to go to a gym where people are using it to dye their hair? Very shady contracts, not explained up front and often very dirty inside with people leaving underwear and other cloths in the changing rooms. Just underwent a renovation but you can’t tell the difference other than being forced out of the shower area and having to all use the swimming pool side. Only + side is that it’s fairly well priced. As I have allotted money right now I’ll have to stay here but when I’m Back on track I’ll join a respectable gym.”
