Revamp plans for historic Kings Hall leisure centre taking shape

Plans to revamp the Kings Hall Leisure Centre in Hackney are taking shape and will be available for the public to view at a drop-in session on 3 September. Developed by FaulknerBrowns Architects, which worked on the award-winning Britannia Leisure Centre also in Hackney, the plans for the new-look Kings Hall include the refurbishment of the existing pool, a new teaching pool, a new sauna and steam room, new changing facilities and a new fitness suite – including studios for classes.

There will also be a new, two-court sports hall, while the entrance will also be revamped and improvements made to disability access.

The Grade II-listed Kings Hall has been at the heart of Hackney for generations, but its condition continues to deteriorate.
