Southwark Council Leisure Centres

We have five other leisure centres in the borough where you can enjoy a wide variety of different sports and activities ranging from rowing, kayaking and sailing at Surrey Docks Watersports Centre, to swimming in one of our pools at Camberwell, Dulwich, Peckham and Seven Islands.

If you prefer the buzz of a friendly gym then you'll find one in all five of our centres along with open air gym equipment at Geraldine Mary Harmsworth, just near to the Imperial War Museum, where you can also book to play tennis, netball, football and basketball.

You can download the exercise and swimming timetables for all leisure centres.
