Archway Leisure Centre
Archway Leisure Centre on Macdonald Road is under five minutes from Archway Tube, making it easy to reach for a workout or swim. Our two-storey gym overlooks the leisure pool and covers cardio and weights across both floors, while the leisure pool itself has a sloping beach area, wave machine, water features and flume that make it popular with families. There are lanes added for fitness swimming when you want to do laps. After your session, relax in the sauna and steam room. We offer group cycle, HIIT, Pilates, boxfit, circuits, strength conditioning and aqua classes all week, plus over-50s sessions. Swimming lessons run for all ages, and birthday parties are available for kids. We partner with local schools and Islington Council to support the community.
