CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

Miss Nicolaou

Our school visited your centre for Whitewater rafting in June and had a fantastic time. The activity was so much fun but, more importantly, every member of staff (reception, activity leaders and coffee shop) were incredibly professional, friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. We would love to book again next time we're in London next year.

Mr Walsh

We were so lucky to visit you again this year with our Year 6 pupils to take part in the legacy white water rafting session. The children absolutely loved it!

Ms Davis

We came in July 2025 and the students had a wonderful time rafting. We'd love to rebook again for next year.
