CroyWall Climbing Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Had such a great morning completing these climbs. Definitely a fun challenge and something a little different to break up your trip.
Fantastic experience: Chilled, relaxed and really friendly.
Fantastic experience: Always professional, helpful, friendly staff! Clean, tidy place and its facilities!
Positive experience: For the last year I have been visiting a few different gyms in the London area. This is a good one. I belive intermediate and beginners will enjoy this location's mostly vertical terrain the most. But there's also a moon board and a couple of steep overhanging walls as well. 2 stars away from 5 solely because of the chalky holds. Really enjoyed the routesetting for sure. There's also a bit of a kiddy playground smell, if you know what I mean. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Good because it was not overly crowded on a Saturday afternoon.
Positive experience: The wall is good and does the job. They change it regularly so it doesn't get boring. My gripe is with the price. Not sure how much itis to be a member, but if you're just wanting one session, I paid £18.50 after entering around 18:20. The only didn't take a blue light discount. There is a student discount.
Fantastic experience: Nice and cozy! A great place for a climb, nice routes, spacious gym. No crowd on Sundays.
Positive experience: CroyWall is a great little climbing centre that I have visited a few times while visiting Croydon. There are enough routes for me to enjoy for an afternoon, but the venue isn't that big, so there isn't as much variety as you'd find in larger venues. The staff have always been friendly, though, and I go back again.
Fantastic experience: Good staff and good facilities.
Fantastic experience: Tried the intro to bouldering class yesterday small group great instruction and a great place to climb will definitely be back
Positive experience: It’s ok
Fantastic experience: Nice wirkt light high ceiling climbing centre with lots of different grades to suit all types of ability and style of climbing. I would go again. Friendly staff too.
Positive experience: Nice wall, far less busy than central London walls can be. Recently added some auto-belay areas though quite low and only a few lines
Positive experience: Nice place to climb, on the smaller side when compared to other gyms. The staff were friendly and helpful. Music was not to my taste especially the swearing
Hey Mohammed, thank you for your review, and sorry to hear that the music wasn't to your taste. We'll feed that back to the team and ensure we're getting the vibe right, and if you join us again please feel empowered to ask at desk for a change or put in some requests if it's not for you. We're always happy to take any feedback and would love to be able to make things right while you're in climbing. Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great fun and a good price for what you get
Fantastic experience: Was passing through croydon and I popped in. Lovely gym. Great roof area, it had tricky crack climb in it when I was in the gym. Staff were also amazing. Rare 25° 2017 Moonboard with only one kicker row. Wasn’t my cup of tea but the woodie opposite made up for that.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Great kids classes too.
Fantastic experience: Amazing The kids love it very helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Great compwall and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Great climbing centre!
Fantastic experience: Ceoywall es un lugar ideal para escalar en Croydon. La renta de los zapatos vale 4£ y si vas por primera vez te Dan una clase de cortesía
Fantastic experience: It was my first and main bouldering centre for two years. I've been to anohter three, and I think this one was the most complete. All very good. Never a problem. Thanks for the experience.
Fantastic experience: Nice shiny new wall. A little small but enough variety for a workout. Weights area and rower great. although weights machine broken. Bit of a trek to get to for me but will try to go again.
Fantastic experience: croywall is such a great place to climb at - good routes and great customer service. Chris was particularly helpful in introducing me to the climbing world
Fantastic experience: Croywall is always a lovely place to climb. The centre is clean, well-equipped, and right next to good public transport links by bus or tram. There’s plenty of nearby parking too and space to lock up a bike. The staff are always helpful and friendly. Chris especially was very knowledgeable and helped me picking out the perfect pair of climbing shoes to buy, as well as giving some really helpful general climbing tips.
Fantastic experience: love chris - puts the C in Croywall (this is not about tom nor Alec)
Fantastic experience: The session we booked for my daughter and her friends on Saturday was absolutely brilliant. I have nothing but positive feedback for the centre. Chris and Lucy organised the children very well and made it really fun for them as they transitioned from the easier walls to the more difficult. They engaged very well with the kids. The centre is clean, calm, well organised and well located. We shall definitely return.
Fantastic experience: Our son has recently discovered this hidden Gem in Croydon which is a really cool space. Totally reccomended for 7+ years old and up. Massive shout out to staff member Tom for going above and beyond to help my son. All staff are friendly, helpful, make bouldering fun and are a professional team. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: Private training session with David who was really good; friendly and knowledgeable. There are high ceilings giving a feeling of openness. It also does not smell, looks new and fresh. Clean toilets. A little coffee shop too. No parking though but can park round the corner for 3 hours max.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym located near East Croydon, the gym has a great range of climbs for all levels, the staff have been fantastic, especially Davide, who helped me extensively with my first shoe fitting, he provided great insight in helping me find the right product.
Fantastic experience: Nice wall, friendly and helpful staff and generally fun to climb. Unless you’re a super advanced climber you will be well catered for. I started to go here as it’s local to me and I needed somewhere to train for an upcoming ice climbing trip. There is a small coffee area, but I haven’t tried out as I just go purely to climb. Showers, clean toilets, changing cubicles and lockers are available. Can’t really fault the amenities at all and it doesn’t have that weird old climbing shoe smell that some places have. Staff were helpful when I wanted to grab a new pair of shoes, chalk etc. Climbing area is fairly warm even when it was freezing outside. The new gym area and equipment are good and are climbing training focussed with a few cardio machines. Some of the reviews create lack of parking and that you have to use the (free) car park a minutes walk away. I see that as a bonus, and although it’s Croydon I feel perfectly safe leaving a supercar there. Near a large Sainsbury’s, very convenient if you need pick up a few bits on the way home. Just off the Purley Way so a huge range of shops within walking distance, so you can fit a quick climb in whilst doing other jobs.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly bouldering centre. Great range of climbs. Really warm welcome and and clear instruction from Chris. Excellent facilities; changing rooms, lockers and small gym/warm up area. Can’t wait to come back.
Fantastic experience: New to the sport and everything about the place makes it accessible Great people there and some really fun routes which are regularly updated. Definitely give it a go
So glad to hear we've helped you catch the climbing bug Elliott!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, great atmosphere and friendly staff!!
Fantastic experience: Such a great place! I booked an intro session here as it's been a few years since last bouldering. The staff and in particular the instructor (sorry, I forgot her name!) was super friendly, knowledgeable and really knew how to tutor a few new starters. She instantly put us all at ease with something that I was a little nervous and slightly intimidated of. She made us feel safe, and had the right level of encouragement to push ourselves. The venue is fab, clean, well laid out and kitted out to have an enjoyable day. I loved it and will be back, even though I'm aching the day after!
Fantastic experience: My home
Fantastic experience: Great Wall and great atmosphere, never too busy and overwhelming. Enough space to focus and get on with your own climb. Team are welcoming and supportive if required.
Fantastic experience: Honestly my favourite climbing centre in london, relaxed, not too crowded, good setting, friendly and happy staff
Fantastic experience: Great place for bouldering, very nice and open with good route setting and friendly staff and climbers. Decent transport links too.
Fantastic experience: Loved ir
Negative experience: Weird place
Fantastic experience: Good little wall with enough variety and well set routes. One thing I would say though: the music you play in your bedroom might not be suitable for playing in a climbing wall........2.5 hours of death metal doesn't have much mass appeal, that's what headphones are for.
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate your kind words. We love to give our staff autonomy when choosing music but clearly in this case it swung a little too far, a case of Friday excitement! We'll feed it back to the team and it shouldn't happen again. - CroyWall
Fantastic experience: The staff were very helpful, especially as I've only been climbing once before. It's also very easy to get to, being right outside Wandle Park Tram Stop
Fantastic experience: Small, but still plenty of good quality routes to do, friendly climbers and lovely staff, I drive and park in the local shopping centre car parks, beware though you have to move your car after 3 hours.
Fantastic experience: If you want start rock climbing this is place to come, if you are over 14 you can climb every day if you want but the best i think do every 2 days
Fantastic experience: My local climbing gym for the past 1.5 years! Really enjoy climbing here with the variety of different routes that are refreshed regularly and friendly staff + community. Very accessible as well with parking spaces nearby or using the trams.
Fantastic experience: First time climbing in years and had a great time. Everyone was really lovely and welcoming and the climbs were suitable for all levels.
Fantastic experience: As with all London Climbing Centres, super clean and super friendly
Fantastic experience: It is a really nice bouldering gym to go to. Is not massive as some other gyms but there is a good variety of routes and difficulties, at least for my level. I'd absolutely recommend this gym, the atmosphere is great and you can make friends pretty easily.
Fantastic experience: Good little venue. Have to park by the shopping stores and walk round.
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the experience. Suitable for young children, or someone who is afraid of heights.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and reasonable prices, rarely overcrowded. Climbing has been fun and a great workout!
Fantastic experience: I love you guys at LCC. I have completely changed my attitude to exercise because of bouldering. The staff are always kind and helpful, especially the two guys with the Linus merch.
Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym. All bouldering, with a lil free weights section.
Fantastic experience: A great and friendly atmosphere to climb in. The staff are also really friendly and helpful!
Fantastic experience: Great boldering and fantastic staff
Fantastic experience: Recommend
Fantastic experience: Great private lesson for my daughter and I with Tom. Safety instruction very good, centre was well managed and staffed. We will return to climb independently next time having passed the assessment at the end of the lesson to supervise alone.
Positive experience: Good routes, regularly updated. Clean and enough space Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Just want to say a big thank you to Louise at Croywall Croydon. What a star! She was so knowledgeable and patient with my daughter.She was approachable and supportive. Thank you for empowering my lil one she can't wait to come back with her friends.
Fantastic experience: Interesting routes and a fun, inclusive atmosphere. Monday night women's social has made me a much better climber and some friends for life. I've now moved further away but still make the effort to get to CroyWall every week as it's cleaner, friendlier and (in my opinion) has better routes than other walls more local to me in central London.
Fantastic experience: Easy registration, friendly staff,
Fantastic experience: Great vibe. Super session for kids
Fantastic experience: Went for my first ever climb here and it was amazing! Booked an induction which I'd recommend to any other newbies - it covers warmups, climbing basics, terminology and then gets you climbing like it's nothing. Really loved the experience and will be going back to scratch this new itch.
Fantastic experience: Decent! Good routes and wasn't freezing cold like some other gyms
Fantastic experience: I visited a climbing center that left a lasting impression on me. The facility features high ceilings and a bright, airy atmosphere, creating a welcoming and open environment for climbers of all levels.
Fantastic experience: Pretty good
Fantastic experience: Great climbing for all levels Friendly and helpful staff
Positive experience: A well set up and run bouldering hall. The facility is relatively big with a wide selection of routes and levels to pick from. There is a small gym that you can exercise in and there are several walls to pick from. The prices are reasonable and the staff very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Superb & staff great, too
Fantastic experience: What a great place. Friendly staff and a to go place to have fun.
Fantastic experience: Croywall was a new, fun & challenging experience for me. I've always enjoyed climbing walls on an amateur level. The centre gave me the opportunity to stretch myself to the max! We spent about 3 hours here - it's quite handy because there's free parking in the Sainsbury's car park around the corner. I would have stayed longer if I didn't have to move my car. The adrenaline rush of reaching the top with no harness is something else. I also came to the unfortunate realisation that I have very poor upper body strength!! The more challenging inverted walls were basically impossible for me, but I was probably punching above my skill level. Anyhoo... time to get to the gym!
Fantastic experience: Decent sized gym, problems are rotated regularly, staff are lovely.
Fantastic experience: Had a good time here. Super off peak prices are so worth it!
Fantastic experience: Nice segmented but spacious climbing area with a small cave, also has hanging bike racks inside.
Fantastic experience: Really good place for me and my 7 year old. Helpful staff, easy sign-up and got started in minutes
Fantastic experience: Best climbing in Croydon!
Fantastic experience: My 8 years old granddaughter's first time at croywall. Tom was brilliant as she was a little apprehensive, explaining techniques and encourage the whole hour. Thank you Tom
Fantastic experience: I've done indoor rock climbing before. But Bouldering is on a different level and it's much harder. To complete these courses you not only need to be "physically tough", you must also be "mentally tough" as well. If your looking for a good workout, this place will do it and I kid you not, you will end up tired and so will your hands. Take your time in doing these courses because they are challenging.
Fantastic experience: Quite intensive.. Great service and safe
Positive experience: Not bad! Nice cave climbing and nice people but its out of the way with no parking.
Fantastic experience: Great climbing centre I go most Mondays and take all my friends!
Positive experience: Good for families
Positive experience: I usually attend on the off peak times. The staff are friendly, the climbs are a good range of easy to Magnus Midtbø, and it has a training area as well
Fantastic experience: Staff were super helpful when we got there as it was my first time at this wall. We completed a quick questionnaire and we was climbing within minutes. Would recommend this place and it'll now be my local.
Fantastic experience: Chill and welcoming vibe. As a first time climber I found the experience very beginner friendly and really enjoyed my time there. The changing rooms and toilets are gender neutral which is a definite plus. The staff seemed nice and helpful but also gave me enough space so that I didn't feel too self-conscious while climbing, which was good. If you can go on Monday morning/daytimes before 4pm it's pretty cheap (£5) as it's their designated super off-peak time.
Fantastic experience: Small yet mighty. A great gym for every ability. It's a little out of the way but there is bike parking inside and it's usually never very busy like some of their other gyms.
Fantastic experience: This gym is so awesome. The routes get changed up quite frequently so we don’t get bored! It’s fantastic to have routes for all grades so you can progress and the community is also great. Super cool the fact that there is a gym space so we can warm up or just workout. Plus the Socials are really cool if you are climbing alone and want to start meeting other people at the gym or want company
Fantastic experience: Cool place for bouldering!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly, spacious wall with lots of routes covering all abilities. Great area for warming up, stretching etc. Two minutes walk from the tram, with connections to main line stations.
Fantastic experience: First time bouldering and it was one for the books. I visited as a Sky VIP guest, and had a guided climb ♀️ The joining instructions were a little scary, but VERY clear. When you arrive, you then have to run through the terms and conditions to ensure you properly understood it all. the staff on site are super friendly and informative, telling you everything you need to know beforehand. You’re then given the gear and ushered up to the top floor to put away your possessions in the lockers. Before the session, there’s a guided warm up, and then you ease into it all with a quick techniques walk through. Then it’s climbing time! So much fun
Fantastic experience: If you're looking to get more creative as a climber, this is the right place. If you're looking to get stronger and train vigorously, it's not.
Fantastic experience: Great bouldering gym, with plenty of routes. The difficulties increase steadily, which is perfect for beginners and the small gym at the top is great to warm up. It also has a small cafe, with hot drinks and snacks, and wall plugs.
Positive experience: Good variety of route types and good amenities like the rest of the chain. The centre is good but not a clean nor friendly as the standard set by the rest of the LCC. The intro course was good when I did it but I suspect it would be awful with some of the other more unwelcoming staff because they don't seem to like mid level climbers.
Fantastic experience: Great place
Fantastic experience: Nice place to have a fun
Hi Anya, It looks likely you have reviewed us and tagged pictures of us when these are actually Flipout Croydon. Looks like great fun. Wish we had an ice rink as well as bouldering. Would be great if you could remove as the photos are abit misleading for our cusomters. Thanks and much appreciated. Tom
Fantastic experience: Wide range of difficulties and styles of route. Down to earth, helpful staff. Friendly climber culture.
Fantastic experience: Perfect place✌
Fantastic experience: Perfect place for bouldering - open early till late, staff is very.nice and friendly! CroyWall is not crowded at all compared to other places. Good wines, great climbs - what else does one need?
Fantastic experience: Excellent climbing center with great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The center is of good size with a nice variety of problems for every level. Big shout out to all the people who work there including Chris for the occasional tip on problems I've had trouble with and Alec for patiently spending ages with me when I was choosing my first pair of shoes!
Fantastic experience: We went down to Croywall yesterday for a free taster session. Lou was on hand to make the whole experience fantastic. It was a lot of fun and harder than it looks and my girls had a great time. Nice, clean premises and professional and friendly staff, well done team.
