Transforming the Finsbury Leisure Centre site

We have been working with the community since 2017 to explore how we can improve the Finsbury Leisure Centre site, bring it up to date, and deliver wider benefits for the local community.

On this website you can find our latest design proposals which include more detail on what the new buildings will look like and how we have used the community’s feedback to shape the updated plans.

The latest phase of public engagement took place in January 2024 and we are now reviewing the responses.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come along to one of the recent public exhibitions and let us know their thoughts at those events, through our survey or via email. We are now reviewing all the feedback received and will present an update on our proposals in late spring.

If you’d like to subscribe for email updates, please get in touch at islingtoncouncil@londoncommunications.co.uk.

Our proposals

This project will be the biggest investment in this area’s public services in a generation - to help build a more equal future for your community.

The updated proposals will provide:

• around 100 council homes, with another 100 for sale to help pay for them
• space for an NHS GP surgery
• new planting, greenery, and improved walking and cycle routes
• an excellent and affordable sports and leisure centre.
