Visit websiteView menuMy new favourite place in London. The climbs are regularly refreshed, so every visit there will be something new. There's a fantastic variety of styles and grades. And although there are a lot of very experienced members, people new to the sport will find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
THE BEST indoor bouldering gym in London for the facilities, setting and supportive community! I’ve been to many gyms in the city but this one really has it all. From the studio classes to the discounts and countless events, it’s clear that Substation really cares about making their members feel cared for. Annnd their cafe has really tasty pizza too which is always a nice to have after a big session!!!! (most gyms only have snacks but at subs you’ll never go hungry)
Hands down the best climbing community around. Met so many amazing people since I started climbing there in 2022. It's a great place to climb, work out, grab a coffee or pizza, get some work done, or just hang out. And it's gotten even better with the addition of the sauna and cold plunge! Most importantly, the staff is lovely and caring too. They've really helped shape the place into what it is today.
One of the best around. Great mixture of roots and styles. 2 interactive boards and cool hill/slope. Big open space, all the gym equipment thats really needed for full workout, great socials, lovely people, nice cafe. Now has a pool table 🤙 good classes (get 2 a month with membership) and there's a sauna + plunge. Only lacking a cave climb and filtered water. Also the sauna should really be either part of membership (atleast a few free a month) or a lot cheaper considering the membership price.
I am only commenting on the pizzas here today. The area this Sunday afternoon was comfortable, and the staff was polite. The politeness extended to discussing with me the lengthy preparation of my pizza (more than 30 minutes) and the need to reduce one of the ingredients. The vegan pizza I had was tasty, and the vegan cheese was great, together with the artichokes, and a hint of garlic. I imagine it would have been even nicer with the broccoli as originally intended.
