FREE GYM #13 - Southbank Club - but not on 'The South Bank'

I know the South Bank. It boasts iconic structures such as Oxo Tower and the London Eye and is home to treasured cultural institutions such as The Southbank Centre, The Royal Festival Hall, BFI and The National Theatre.

Which left me rather perplexed when I came across 'The Southbank Club', impetuously impersonating London's cultural riverside hub while lurking by 9 Elms Market, in deepest darkest Vauxhall. 

Titular technicalities aside, I did enjoy the club, which seems to run a regular friendly squash league whilst boasting one of the biggest, most spacious warehouse gyms I have ever seen. It also makes use of three gigantic projector screens - very cinematic (bringing popcorn is not encouraged).

If you do decide to visit, they can be found on Wandsworth Road and were offering a free day pass to entice new members in February. Although this offer has expired - the extremely chirpy staff will be happy to give you a 'South Bank' tour...not quite a tourist favourite, but definitely worth a visit.
