York Hall Leisure Centre

“A true gem for boxing fans! York Hall is an incredible venue for live boxing — the atmosphere is electric, intimate, and full of history. I recently attended one of the Boxmania nights and was genuinely impressed. The event was very well organized, from entry and seating to the flow of the fights. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were helpful, and the whole night felt professionally put together. If you're a boxing enthusiast, it’s absolutely worth the visit. There’s nothing quite like experiencing boxing at York Hall — you feel every cheer, every moment, up close. I’m already looking forward to the next one!”

“It’s beautiful old building. At the top a gym with friendly staff and a massive swimming pool. Underground is a nice spa as well to run independently, clean and with multiple options of steams and temperature as well a small pool of cold and hot water showers. Definitely give a chance of spend a couple of ours for yourself or perhaps a gift for a friend. I went for a hand and foot massage, that was nice (£40). The good about it was a lovely head and neck massage, good product and a hot paraffin that help a little with the joint pain. Perhaps 25 minutes is not enough time as when you start been relax the time is over and they unpolitely turn the light on suddenly to hurry you up and give you just a few minutes to dress as the technician still hurrying you as she is waiting for you in the corridor while your dress. I found it an unpleasant ending as no others customer were there waiting. ☺️”

“I went to the famous York Hall Leisure Centre to see a boxing event, which was most enjoyable, and well run. The hall is smaller than I imagined, so no matter where you are sitting, you have a good view of the fighters in the ring. I've seen many boxing events from the York Hall Leisure Centre on TV, and it always looked OK, but with respect, it does need refurbishment.”

“I am shocked and deeply upset by the complete lack of accessibility at this leisure centre in Bethnal Green. For two weeks, the only disabled entrance has been blocked by a car — and nobody here seems to care. How is this acceptable? How is this legal? Disabled people should not have to fight just to enter a public facility that they pay for and rely on. Instead of taking responsibility, staff act like it’s not their problem. The message this sends is loud and clear: our access doesn’t matter. This is not a minor inconvenience — it is discrimination. It prevents disabled people from exercising, from accessing community activities, from feeling safe and welcome. I have seen people turned away, frustrated, embarrassed, and excluded. You cannot claim to serve the community while physically blocking out disabled members. Fix this immediately. Apologise. And do better — because right now, this is shameful.”
