North London Optimist Community Centre

A pretty large facility in the mid-east of London, despite it's name, it acts as both a sports facility and community center. There are a number of rooms that serve for courses like Lego Robotics classes for kids although the main draw is still the sports facilities. The program seems to be updated to using Vex kits and they also have Minecraft. They house outdoor and indoor tennis courts, as well as volleyball and squash. That's a lot in one center. Notably, there are rest areas, perhaps for family waiting, and even vending machines to quench your thirst after strenuous activity. Parking is ample and they have set aside reserved spots for the handicapped.

Went for roller skating with some friends and it was a really fun experience! The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the rental skates were in better condition than I’ve seen at other similar joints. They had fun music playing and a decent traffic flow system. The bathrooms/change rooms were also very clean. Had a great time all around.

Great staff, very helpful. Premises are always clean, and they always set the nets for you. The best part, they have high ceilings (good for volleyball).
