i heard it had to be compleately demolished and rebuilt owed to the structural damage... where'd you hear otherwise?

A good friend of mine heard it's reopening in January. Don't know where he heard it though.

can't recall now - it is a complete debacle anyway, opened for a few months = closed for the past 2 years?

Kings Hall was pretty scuzzy when i last went along. Clissold Leisure Centre = biggest white elephant in history, still waiting for it to reopen, though the scaffold has come down now. Haggerston Baths stopped up and crumbling into dust. Lido shut up for the winter. Brittania Baths or Highbury Fields are maybe your best bet tbh.

Clissold Leisure sho06 Nov 2007 Clissold Leisure Centre to reopen The Clissold Leisure Centre in Hackney, London, is to reopen next month following almost four years of curative work.

The centre formerly opened in February in 2002, at a cost of £34m, to great fanfare. It was closed in November 2003 for a number of reasons, counting a leaking roof, laughable ventilation, cracking in squash-court walls and water damage to the sports hall floor.

However, following a public consultation, the “serious faults” have been rectified, and new features added, such as a brand new child pool, as well as better disability access, reception area and crèche.

Mayor of Hackney, Jules Pipe, said: “Completion of the building work is a crucial milestone towards getting Clissold reopened for the people of Hackney.

“If the fit out period goes smoothly, the centre should be open by the end of the year. Local people have waited a long time for the centre to reopen and I welcome this move into the closing phase of the project.”

When it reopens, Clissold will be operated by Greenwich Leisure.
