Brixton Recreation Centre launched a new Active Bowling tenpin bowling alley on August 8 as part of a £1.1 million leisure investment by Lambeth Council. The same centre also opened a Multi Sports Simulator offering over 60 sports and immersive gameplay at £6 per person.

Facility expansions tied to council funding

Lambeth Council is investing an additional £1.4 million into Brixton Recreation Centre over the next four years. This includes a £125,000 gym refurbishment scheduled to begin the week of July 28. These upgrades directly increase capacity for local teams and athletes seeking consistent training spaces.

Additional venues add options

Anytime Fitness opened its largest UK gym in Brixton, a 12,000 sq ft facility in Ivor House offering 24/7 access along with specialized spin, HIIT and holistic studios. Ferndale Community Sports Centre in Brixton has received a new premises licence to sell alcohol and host events such as wedding receptions and birthday parties, broadening its use for club gatherings.

Practical access details

Local clubs and athletes can use the Multi Sports Simulator at Brixton Recreation Centre for £6 per person. The combination of the new bowling alley, simulator and planned gym works provides multiple indoor options within the same multi-sports centre. Residents seeking further information on bookings or upcoming availability can check updates through Lambeth Council channels listed in the sources.
