Great. TB2 is amazing. Facilities are good, large changing areas, good weights and the board room has nice natural light which is rare for a UK gym. Staff were also very helpful and they had a good selection of fizzy drinks.

I've been a member of the Font climbing gym for the past four months and every day has been amazing. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the gym itself is fantastic, and the climbing is fun and social. The route setting team does a great job keeping the routes fresh and the gym itself is always clean. The student discount is an additional treat! A lovely gym if you live in the southwark neighborhood!

Just randomly remember my experience in this gym and decided to leave a review. I got their promotion package sometimes before, 6 session for £36, so why not give it a try? Saying that I am disappointed is an understatement. The warm up area is tiny, with a weird layout under the stairs, lockers are criminally insufficient. The amount of people there was incredible. Which I can understand, it's in the city centre, well located etc. What I don't get is how filthy the holds were. Look, I have been climbing in maybe 3 other climbing gyms in London, with more than 2 years experience, never have I look at my hand and wondered why they are black during my climb. The holds are slippery no matter how you brush them, kinda disgusting. The climbing area is also in the basement, which I feel the atmosphere and air quality is depressing. The settings on the gym is also unimpressive, with weird layouts (for me). I also enjoy slabs, which there's essentially none in this gym. Is it a horrible gym? No, would I come back again? No, even with the 6 sessions for £36 package I didn't even bother using all of them. With the normal monthly membership (something like at least £85) it's just not worth it for me.

Great climbing gym - good routes, cool vibe and friendly staff. A little bit a victim of its own success as it gets super busy mid-week which highlights the limitations of the space. Also, I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years and recently have noticed that the cleanliness standards have gone down a bit - both the changing area and the climbing section. With the recent price increases, that’s a little frustrating. Otherwise, no complaints so will happily keep coming back 👍
