Clissold Leisure Centre

sh swirling around your legs…

This guy would seem to have it nailed:

Local resident Marcus Fairs, editor of architecture magazine Icon, said: “In my opinion the place has never worked properly. The Clissold is a monument to architectural arrogance and local government ineptitude. “It was clearly designed to look good in glossy design magazines and boost the egos of the architect and the councillors who commissioned it. I got so fed up and frustrated that I cancelled my membership last September – but they’re still charging me.”

    No, I never did, but my son did. He said it was fairly grim inside compared to how swish it looks from the outside. I just cycled past a couple of times, and thought to myself, mmm, good for the council, building something like that. Sadly naive, I’m afraid.
