anybody been to Hackney baths at Kings Hall Leisure Centre? Just at the foot of Lower Clapton Road.

I've been lazily planning to go for a time but suddenly realise that I've only regularly gone to one pool in my life (I'm new to Hackers innit :cool: ) and that was purpose built in the 80's. I am a bit :eek: about going to another! What if it's shit?

So - is the plaster to hair-wads ratio unacceptable or is it OK?

ive only been there just the once i think. i wouldn't go another time :oops: i've joined a private fitness center instead :(

i've heard it's pretty rank (dirty etc.) however i've never actually been. that kinda put me off! :D

I used to pass it virtually every day, I never dared go in though

Oh dear! :happy:

It's so downright convenient though. I get off the bus in front of it each day and have nipped in just the once to get a timetable leaflet thingy. Thought about asking for a quick look around but chickened out.

I've highlighted the women-only lanes swim on Thursday so I'll report back :)

Knowing Hackney, I'd use it whilst it's still open.

Oh god.

What's good regarding it then? Anything at all?

yeah exactly

..for additional investigations

clearly you havent heard that London Fields Lido has reopened.
