Dolphin Square Fitness Club

Dolphin Square Fitness Club sits in Pimlico, a residential corner of central London that most tourists miss entirely. It's a proper members-only gym and sports facility - not the sort of place you'd stumble into on a casual stroll - but if you're staying at nearby Lovat Parks and fancy a serious workout session, it's worth knowing about.

The club has been around since the 1930s and still carries that established, no-nonsense vibe. You'll find a decent pool, gym equipment, and various sports courts inside. It's the kind of place that attracts people who actually use their memberships rather than Instagram-famous fitness influencers. The facilities are solid rather than flashy, and that's rather the point.

Unless you're a member or visiting someone who is, you won't get in. Day passes or guest visits depend entirely on membership rules - best ringing ahead if you're keen. Pimlico itself is quiet and leafy, a five-minute walk from the Thames, so it slots nicely into a wider London exploration. If you're based at Lovat Parks for a longer stay, this could work as a reliable spot for morning laps or a proper gym session without the chaos of more touristy leisure centres. Honestly though, for a holiday park visitor, it's worth considering only if you're genuinely committed to staying fit during your break - otherwise your time is better spent on the South Bank or Chelsea.
