Putney Leisure Centre

A fine, spacious, and airy building, the work of architects Powell and Moya, most famous for their work for the 1951 Festival of Britain. Lane (lap) swimming from 6:30 AM on weekdays (7:30 AM on Saturdays and 8:30 AM on Sundays) provides a good facility for an early morning dip. Bring a padlock to secure your locker (if you haven't got one with you don't despair, padlocks can be borrowed from the reception desk).

The pool has scum all around, like a dirty bath. I swam there briefly and would not describe it as clean.

Lovely big windows with views to trees while swimming. Big, clean, attractive pool. A nice experience.
