Camberwell Leisure Centre on Camberwell Road has added four new group exercise slots each week from Monday 13 July, including circuit training on Tuesdays at 7pm and chair-based movement on Thursdays at 10am.

Longer daylight hours and warmer evenings have drawn more locals toward shared activity spaces rather than solo routines, as Southwark Council reports steady demand for structured sessions that fit around work and family schedules.

Venues and timetables in the area

The centre on Camberwell Road runs mixed-ability Pilates on Mondays and Wednesdays in its main studio, while Burgess Park Sports Hub on Albany Road hosts outdoor circuits on Tuesdays and Saturdays using the grass pitches near the lake. Both sites operate under Southwark Active, the council’s leisure arm, and accept drop-ins alongside advance bookings via the MySouthwark app.

Participants at the Camberwell Road site can combine a 45-minute class with a swim in the 25-metre pool next door, and the Albany Road sessions finish near the park café so groups often continue for coffee afterwards.

Costs and participation figures

Resident concession rates start at £6.50 per class this summer, with full-price tickets at £8.50; last financial year the two sites recorded 11,400 attendances across all group programmes, up from 9,800 the year before. Timetables are updated monthly on the council website and posted on noticeboards at Camberwell Green library.

Anyone new to the sessions can attend a free taster on the first Saturday of each month at either venue, then register for a four-week block or pay per visit. Details and current availability appear on the Southwark Council leisure page or by phoning the Camberwell Road desk on 020 7525 2000.
