Sports

Sharing the College’s street are 3 new gym centres offering a wide range of activities including boxing, running, cycling and yoga. “Really friendly staff! Open 24 hours which is very convenient. Lots of free weights of a range of sizes so you won’t be standing around waiting to use them”. There are several other gyms in the E1 area including the Whitechapel Sports Centre (a sports and fitness hub featuring e.g. women’s gym and sauna sessions, outdoor pitch and badminton hall); and the Mile End Park Leisure Centre and Stadium (offering e.g.  400-metre athletics track, pitches, sports hall, group exercise studio, gym, and two swimming pools).
