Latchmere Leisure Centre

Latchmere Leisure Centre is a recently refurbished sports complex that's popular with local families for its swimming pools and soft play area. The 25m pool runs alongside a warmer teaching pool that's ideal for little ones getting confident in the water, and there's a soft play space where toddlers can burn off energy while you catch your breath. The facility also offers kids' dance classes if you're looking for regular activities to fill the week.

The centre has accessible facilities including an accessible entrance and toilets, though it's worth noting there are no dedicated baby changing facilities on site. If you're driving, be aware that the car park requires you to register your vehicle on arrival—it's easily missed, so look out for the registration point when you come in to avoid any parking charges. The pools tend to run warm, which some parents love for younger swimmers, though it can feel a bit too toasty for longer sessions.
