Crystal Palace

On behalf of the Greater London Authority and GLL, welcome to Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Greater London Authority to deliver outstanding sports and leisure facilities set against the back drop of a centre that has been at the heart of sport in London for over 40 years.  

Opened in 1964 this iconic centre is steeped in sporting tradition and is a listed heritage building set within 200 acres of parkland in the heart of South London.

With over £20 million invested into the centre in recent years, there is a fantastic range of sports facilities and activities on offer including one of London’s premier 50m pools, an international standard athletics track, a modern gym and an outdoor beach sports facility.

Crystal Palace is the spiritual home of British Athletics and hosts the Diamond League Aviva London Grand Prix along with other sporting events. The Centre is also proud to be the training headquarters of the Brasil Olympic Team as they prepare for the Games.

The centre is open to the whole community and we look forward to seeing you at this fantastic sports and leisure facility.
