Pretty good mini-golf with a more adult drinking theme vibe to it. Would be really excellent with a larger group or for a work drinks event. Drinks prices are standard and have a great array of choice. I went with just two people and the courses are a bit short for what you pay for, taking less than 40 minutes to go round the 9 holes. Some holes are really creative and use the space to excellent effect but it is a shame they aren't all like that. As others have mentioned, if it is hot outside it will be really hot inside, it is not well ventilated or air conditioned. It is also loud and dark inside so depending on your mood may be a love/hate affair. Would recommend checking it out as a fun city activity, but if you are up for a challenging and complex mini-golf course this probably isn't the one.

Tried the Bruce course which was great fun albeit a bit too short for our taste, 8 of us took about 30 mins to finish the 9 hole course. Given its underground it's also a bit warm and stuffy down there, especially in this summer heatwave. They did have 2-3 fans across the course but more airflow is required. All in all nicely constructed but could do with some venting and I would suggest play at least 2 courses on the day if you don't want it to be a short evening.

The Gym London Angel




The Gym London Holborn Circus



It's very compact and brand new gym but they have most of equipment. It's get crowded very easily because of its size.

The Gym London Waterloo


Personally, I would like a bit more natural light and another squat rack. I'm not one for machine use but can't complain about pricing as it is probably the cheapest you will find around Waterloo area. Staff are a bit snobbish but then again "pay peanuts, you get monkeys"




Leisure Centres Reviews and Pools

Finsbury Leisure Centre




Britannia Leisure Centre



The pool could be cleaner. Not long enough, deep enough and no lane swimming. Catered more towards children rather than adults. There's only one water work out class a week at 9.30am when most people are at work. Britannia is on my doorstep but I have to go to the Clissold Center for a variety of classes.

Was a Monday after 5 pm, so was a woman only night. Fantastic, it is usually full, however, was quite due to Ramadan. Fantastic friendly staff, working the best with what they've got. The place needs a massive financial injection, some TLC. This would see the member's rate improve, as it has dropped considerably during the last year. Hopefully when rail track go this will happen.

Have to say the customer service i received of ellie thorn was wonderful really makes the gym unlike other memebers of the csa team

Good spot to watch football. Awful when busy, to buy drinks. Who, (apart from people who don't like beer) wants Coors Light? Then draught all beers go off and you can only buy bottles for over a fiver? The sign that says"bar staff required, no experience required", pretty much sums it up. Either way, the people that served me were polite and decent people. Just hugely overworked and out of their depth for how busy it was.

Watched a boxing fight there. £10 entry on the door, which only got you through the door, no free drink. It drew a crowd that was quite knowledgeable about boxing. Enough space in there to see the screens and enough seating if you get there early enough. You will have to find another review to see how it is as a club. As a note the place emptied very quickly after the fight. As a place to watch sports it was decent.
