Save Golden Lane

🎉 BREAKING:

The City of London Corporation has voted unanimously to keep the sports hall at Golden Lane Leisure Centre - reversing plans that would have torn it out for a commercial gym.

84% of residents said keep it. The City listened. This is what community organising looks like.

‘The last ‘rotten borough’: The City of London Corporation, is it time for reform?’

by Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle

May 29, 2026

‘Residents, the people who actually live within the Square Mile, are routinely outvoted by commercial interests. This is not a minor historical quirk. It is a significant departure from the standard of democratic representation we would expect anywhere else in British public life.’

Tonight, 6pm: we found the Golden Lane Leisure Centre User Forum.

A constituted, democratic body to represent City residents and users in dealings with the City of London Corporation - one month before the 30 June decision on our only public leisure centre.

Golden Lane Community Centre, EC1Y 0SH. Be there. 💪
