About Us

In 2004Lewisham Council announced plans to demolish Ladywell Leisure Centre in 2007 - we saved it! The pool will stay open until the forecast replacement is ready.  Sadly the plan is awfully inadequate and instead of being a plan for a community sport and leisure centre it is a plan for a lifestyle pool for the new residential developments to be built in front of Lewisham Station.

Downham is quite nice, but Ladywell is better

Yom's Log:
"About 11 years ago, the local swimming pool closed down. Last week, after many delays and unkept promises, a new leisure centre finally opened.

Gave it a go this morning. It's quite nice, though with some disappointments: the main pool is quite small (25m), and not very deep - my toes just touch the bottom at the deep end. Diving is forbidden, which spoils half the fun of swimming. So the pool at Ladywell (which they're stupidly proposing to demolish and rebuild elsewhere) is still rather better. Tch." (continues)
