New 50m Pool & Leisure Facility Announced With Prospec Lockers & Cubicles

3^rd February 2025

Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) planning committee has approved plans to transform the old Gurnell site in Ealing, West London, into what the proposals describe as "one of the UK’s best public leisure centres".

The green light for the new centre was given at the start of 2025. It marks a crucial step forward in the Gurnell masterplan delivery, revitalising a significant community hub that is positioned between five of the borough’s seven towns – Ealing, Northolt, Perivale, Hanwell, and Greenford.

The new leisure complex will provide a range of health, fitness and physical activity facilities including a 50-metre swimming pool, making it one of only three open 50m indoor pools in London, along with a climbing wall and state-of-the-art gym. The new site will offer an enhanced wet area, including a waterpark, slides and lazy river, as well as exercise studios, a soft play area and café. Around the centre plans include a new skate park, cycle pump track, outdoor gym and children’s playground. Prospec will be taking a lead on the lockers and cubicles for this project.
