    Beautiful place, great climbing and the staff is incredible. Especially Ian, the Swiss employee with the great hat. He was so sweet and very helpful during our check in, I was trying shoes on and didn’t end up buying anything but he was still so encouraging and fun. Give that guy a raise, seriously. Highly recommend, I climb in a lot of place in London so it’s nice to add this to our list of regular spots. A pool table? That’s cool as hell.

    Quite large climbing gym. Not a fan of their setting or the really high walls personally.

    I’ve only used their yoga studio (I don’t climb), but so far it’s been a poor experience. Each time, it’s been quite dirty (visible amounts of dust and dirt on the floor) and the yoga teachers show some really complex, contortionate moves without giving sufficient alternatives — to the point that I’ve had significant knee pain coming out of sessions. On the other hand, it’s a good deal, £10/class if you get a 5-pack.
