St George's Leisure Centre

My son takes swimming lessons there once a week. The small pool is warm and the water looks clean, the staff is helpful and polite and the teacher is great. Clean and spacious changing room with lockers/pegs and benches available. Haven't visited the gym yet.

We really miss this pool it’s great. Seriously needs to reopen soon what are members paying for? The other local pools are not a great alternative at the moment- Mile End is small and overcrowded. York Hall is out of use for several months due to structural work. London fields lido still has only outdoor changing- no indoor changing or hairdryers so not suitable before work or for those who need a hairdryer and even if you can manage without that it’s difficult to book a slot peak time.. London aquatics centre has cleared the bulk of the daytime schedule in the 50m competition pool to run aqua splash and is now not open till late at weekends as it was pre-pandemic. Appreciate times are difficult but the community needs this place sorely and it should be a priority to get this place up and running again.

I had a horrible accident and needed a pool to use after. I had never been before, having been a member of a private gym - and was extremely nervous. They were so friendly and kind. I still go. Lovely big pool. Friendly staff. Cleaner than most public pools that have the same use. Highly recommend it.

It is without doubt, in my opinion the best pool in Tower Hamlets or even perhaps London, for many reasons. It may not have the best facilities, but the pool itself is light and open,with big windows above pool level, you can swim and watch the sunset! The staff are amazing, it has a really homely feel. I have been going there for years, since my kids were small. I go very regularly and have recently started using the gym, there are no airs and graces, it is very welcoming and they will try to accomodate everyone as far as is humanly possible. The lifeguards are more than staic observers, they will step in to give a hand, teach kids, help omeone out. the reception staff will notice if you look happy or sad, and take time to ask about how you are, the teaching staff are fantastic, I hobestly cannot recommend St Georges enough. They also set6 the pool up creatively, lanes on one side, big open swimming space on another, go there, it is great.

Now that's what I call a proper pool. Deep, cheap and
33m long. Swim here and get fit!
Particularly liked the grippy bit for your feet when you push off. Staff also very nice. One happy customer!

Very nice and relatively clean. My favourite better leisure place in Tower Hamlets, the staff are nice too. Wish their phone would work though... Just can't get through.

Please please reopen this pool, the staff was so nice, the pool large, it could have done with a refurbishment but the nearest pool for kids now is at Poplar and it’s so bad with rude and lame swimming teachers. it really made me appreciate St George’s pool and what we had.

Lovely pool for non professionals. Three lanes for slow, medium and fast swimmers. Very friendly lifeguards. Some receptionist are a bit rude. Membership for the pool is 29 per month.

My local swimming pool. Its simple affordable and clean. Both my kids are going there and love it and love their teacher. Of course its a bit old, not as nice a Olympic pool but much more quiet and accessible.

This place needs to be open! Rumour has it that before the pandemic this place was to be knocked over and luxury flats are to be built. Me thinks they’re waiting for the investment before they announce permanent closure.

Excellent and well-needed community resource, hugely missed since its temporary closure. Particularly enjoyed the friendly and supportive adult swimming lessons here.

I had a great time here. The pool is wide and clean. The instructors are nice and polite. And most of all - really helpful.

Great pool. 33.3 metres. Lane swimming excellent.

Really good place for swimming.(you need 20p for the locker)

Great pool with amazing staff and instructors!

Perfect. The deepest pool by far and great service.

Quiet, locals pool, let's lot of daylight in as well

A beautiful facility providing fun for the whole family.
