What to Consider Before You Hire a Sport Hall or Gymnasium in London
Not all sports halls are created equal. Before you make a booking, take time to review the following:
- Flooring specifications – Different sports require different surfaces. Sprung wooden floors are ideal for dance and basketball, while vinyl or rubber floors may be better suited to general fitness or martial arts.

- On-site amenities – Check for essentials like changing rooms, showers, and storage facilities if your event requires them.
- Accessibility – Ensure the venue provides step-free access, accessible toilets, and lifts where necessary.
