Marshall Street Leisure Centre

I'm a regular user of the gym and used to be a regular user of the pool. The gym is a decent size and generally well-equipped. Not a fan of their cardio machines (inflexible programs that don't allow you to see your progress), but the weight machines are new and in good condition. I rarely have to wait to use a machine. Downsides are the lack of maintenance (e.g. gym toilet was out of order for several months, broken lockers), no shower cubicles or hairdryers and a pool changing room that is so cramped and humid that it's impossible to get dry after a swim. I also find some of their marketing campaigns in the gym moronic and bordering on offensive (e.g. "get a beach body" nonsense) and the incessant infomercials on the TV screens make me want to poke needles in my eyes, but maybe that's just me. Unless you're looking for a pool, you can probably find a cheaper and better gym-only alternative nearby.

Nice little sports centre in Piccadilly. Pool quite small, only 3 lanes and got quite busy in the morning before work. Dressing room quite nice and spacious and there is a spinner to dry swimsuits. Towel rental available for £2.

Staff is friendly, pool water isn't too cold. The actual temperature of the pool area is actually quite hot, which is a nice change for once.

What a delight! A beautifully restored Art Deco pool in the middle of Soho. Cool. Delicious. Lovely staff. You can rent a towel for a couple of quid and buy a swimming costume from them - so no excuse not to take a dip. I had to take a diversion in here during and unseasonably warm end of May heatwave. (Top tip if you are a statuesque gentlemen like me, Jacamo in Oxford St about three minutes walk away sells generously proportioned swimming costumes - just saying...) Spinner in the changing room will dry your costume very nicely. Only downside is the changing area is a little bit too hot for my taste and a tiny bit cramped. And it's not that cheap to swim...not too expensive, but a couple of quid less would feel better...

Good gym, great location. Reasonable membership fees for the area. Beautiful swimming pool.

Great location and beautiful building and swimming pool. Changing facilities are quite small and very dirty. In the 2 hours that I spent there, no cleaning was done in the locker rooms, as the same kind of dirt was there before and after my swim. Therefore, 3 stars is the best review.

Love this place. It was such a great discovery! A publicly-owned leisure facility in the heart of town. The sauna, spa and treatment area are wonderful oasis in the heart of the city.
