Forest Hill Pools, Indoor swimming center in Forest Hill, London, United Kingdom
Forest Hill Pools is a swimming center in Forest Hill that contains two separate pools for different abilities and needs. The main 25-meter pool serves swimmers of all levels while the smaller learner pool caters to beginners and children learning to swim.
The site was originally a Victorian swimming facility from 1885 that served different social classes in separate areas. The historic building closed and was replaced with a modern center that preserves part of the original entrance.
The current leisure center serves as a community gathering point where residents participate in fitness classes, swimming lessons, and aquatic sports activities.
The facility is open from early morning to late evening, with different hours on weekdays and weekends. It is worth checking the specific opening times in advance as these may vary seasonally.
The modern building preserves the original Victorian facade and 19th-century entrance from the historic structure. This contrast between period architecture and contemporary design is immediately noticeable when arriving at the site.
