Kings Hall Redevelopment

Hackney Council is now ready to begin the exciting redevelopment of Kings Hall Leisure Centre that will restore and improve the centre for generations to come. 

To make these essential improvements, Kings Hall Leisure Centre will close from 1pm on 24 December 2025. In January, we’ll be removing equipment and preparing the building before construction begins in February 2026.

  • New communal spaces 
  • A new accessible entrance onto Clapton Square, replacing the existing entrance onto Lower Clapton Road
