Substation Brixton

Came here for a kids party and they absolutely loved it! Our 4yo daughter took to it no worries, as did others as young as 3. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite bouldering places in London. Large and airy centre and very creative route setting. A little bit pricey but definitely worth a try if you are nearby or looking for somewhere to climb long and hard!

Do not take your children here.Met with friends and their children for a birthday celebration.The children had fun climbing and used both climbing walls on the ground floor and upstairs.The children were managed by all parents.I had been approached by a staff member asking for the children not to run around.Now I understand the responsibility of a parent to stay with your child whilst using the climbing area, however the fact is that children play together and is apart of their learning.The staff approached me only continuously asking that if the children continue to play then we will be asked to leave. I'd been spoken to about 4/5 times to tell the children to stop running. The staff had not asked the other parents.On leaving the centre it had been brought to my attention by my friends that I was the only parent that was being approached, the other parents had informed me that they had not been told to leave.

The great: 5 stars actually because of this: I love the climbing gym. I do like the route setting as you can find an adequate amount of problems for beginners and more advanced climbers likewise.The -1⭐ is because I went to a single yoga session, to try it, and I didn't feel comfortable at all. I don't think the teacher was putting any attention. I have gone to other yoga classes in the past and usually the instructors are more aware of how you are doing. Specially with these sort of activities I believe instructors should be more aware. It shouldn't be the students" the ones asking if they are doing alright.However

This is an awesome place.Just the staff were very stand-offish… guy on reception just made us feel like we weren’t really welcome on first visit presenting many hurdles.We jumped the hurdles and had a good time.Strange experience. It felt like we weren’t part of his clique. Very odd.

Nice climbing centre with lots of walls, gym area, activities, ecc.Had a blast while understanding my limits. Will definitely be back for more.It was a crowded night, but the space is big enough for everyone.To the owner enquiry about my 4 stars:-1 star as the guy at the reception kinda treated me in a childish way as it was my first time bouldering. Not a big deal, but it was confirmed by my friend that felt the sameThat said I don't care about it that much - I'm there just to do some physical activities

Beautiful place, great climbing and the staff is incredible. Especially Ian, the Swiss employee with the great hat. He was so sweet and very helpful during our check in, I was trying shoes on and didn’t end up buying anything but he was still so encouraging and fun.Give that guy a raise, seriously.Highly recommend, I climb in a lot of place in London so it’s nice to add this to our list of regular spots.A pool table? That’s cool as hell.

This space is amazing, the centre is huge and is on different levels which makes it spacious and airy. There is also a lot of natural light which really makes the mood pleasant. There’s a nice lounge area, too. It was very quiet when we came which was great, but the price is very much on the high end. Another point I wasn’t a huge fan of, was the grading system. They’ve moved to their own numbered system to draw away from grades, which seems to be popular now., and doesn’t bother me much. However, from customers around me, and through my own thought, it just feels the same as the V grading system anyway, and it no way special or different, perhaps a simple coloured tape systems would be better. That being said, the gym is a fantastic space, with an incredible selection of holds, angles, and setting. They also have some killer merch too.

Moudou was a brilliant climbing instructor and I really enjoyed and appreciated his introduction to climbing. Inspired.Thank you :)
