Atherton Leisure Centre's vapour suite is to close as the cost of satisfactorily renovating the basement facility has been put at £300,000 plus. At a time of severe government cut backs in funding for Newham it is felt the money would be better spent on other priorities. Alternative steam and sauna facilities for residents remain available at East Ham and Newham Leisure Centres.
For further information about leisure and entertainment in Newham visit the Newham Council website or call 020 8430 2000.
We would like to thank users of the leisure centre for their patience and apologise for any inconvenience the unplanned closure has caused.

Service Update
Due to the Government withdrawing its funding to Councils for the Swim4Life free swimming programme (16 and under and over 60s), the Government scheme will cease on 31 July 2010. Some Councils are choosing to continue to fund free swimming in their areas. Please visit the Borough page to see if the scheme is continuing.
