Now that it's finished - the centre opened in August 2014 - it looks a lot less Stasi-like (Image]), which is a relief. It's actually not a bad building, low and layered, partially built into a sloping site. Built at a cost of £14 million by Lambeth Council and Lambeth Primary Care Trust to house a 25 metre swimming pool, gym, dance studios, meeting rooms, GP and dental practice. Designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.
