Wanstead Leisure Centre
Construction work on new leisure centre is underway
Redbridge Council and our contractor Jerram Falkus, are on site constructing an exciting new building which will extend both Wanstead High School and Wanstead Leisure Centre.
As part of the council’s wider plan for regeneration and growth to the area, the £16m construction building will span over three blocks, with 4,200 square metre building housing four new classrooms, a dining hall, and a commercial kitchen.
The existing leisure centre building will be extended to accommodate a new state of the art 25 metre swimming pool, dance studios, a new reception area, and accessible changing rooms for users. Work is due to be completed in Winter 2025.
The extension to the leisure centre and school will include:
- A new 25 metre swimming pool
- Four additional classrooms
- An extended playground
- Dance studios.
- A commercial kitchen
- A reception area
- Accessible changing rooms
