New Barnet Leisure Centre is a cashless facility which means that we are only able to take payments online or in-centre via contactless or credit / debit cards. 

As a company we’ve noticed that the use of cash by our customers has declined significantly over recent years, with more and more people booking online and using credit or debit cards. We are confident that removing cash-based transactions, will improve customer service by reducing queues at reception and eliminating the potential for cash thefts.

We have implemented a cashless operation in several centres across the UK and this has allowed us to vastly improve our speed of service and customer experience.

We will be working with all our customers to ensure that they are able to manage this by finding a suitable, alternative method of payment, should they currently be using cash.
