Climbing Gym Sen - (Near Southwark, UK)

5 /5 Cole Boogaart: Great gym tucked away in a great use of space. The style is like small gym Tokyo pump and the grading is like big B-Pump hard. If you want to level up, stick around this place because there will always be strong climbers frequenting this hall!

4 /5 Anna Suki: This gym is like BPUMP LONDON - hard, challenging climbs. Not a bad thing because if you climb like the folks in Japan, you’ll get strong fast. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness behind each setting. I usually climb up to V5-6s back home but found myself struggling on pink tapes here (I think it’s approx V3?). I love the difficulty honestly- it only means I have a lot of room for improvement, whether it’s technique or strength. The gym is fairly new and only opened for two months, as such, it’s overall very clean and spacious. They have a TB board and spray wall as well. Only two things I wish they had was an area for stretching and warm ups and STICKERS. For a person who constantly travels to different cities, I would have loved to take home some stickers for my collection. I hope to come back again with my spouse when we’re in London again. Cheers and all the best to the Sen team!

5 /5 Philip Wills: Shiny new secret bouldering wall, hidden in a railway arch behind Park Plaza Hotel. This is not a gym for beginners. Generally very nicely set boulder problems, however you need a degree in cryptography to decipher the bespoke route marking system and which holds and volumes are allowed at different grades. Not sure why they are using their own system, when all other gyms use V grades. It is all nice and new looking at the moment so you must remove outdoor shoes before entering the climbing area. They could benefit from some changing facilities; they currently have 2 toilets and 1 shower/changing room.

4 /5 Manoj Gurung: Setting difficulty was as expected - harder than your average commercial gym in the UK, which I liked. Staff was helpful and friendly. Standard hot/cold beverage served at the till and pot noodles. Clean shower and toilets. Only minus, is lack of proper warmup area+equipment. But it is what it is. Will defo come back.
