London ring
Used the new ring at Walthamstow on Saturday and its a welcome addition to facilities in London.
Theres a ring and seperate mats in a lock up unit with shower and kitchen. The posts are nicely padded and the ropes are covered to prevent rope burns on your back. The mats are covered to make cleaning easier and stop them parting which used to happen at Hackney. I wasnt sure if the step ladders were there for decorating the room ( it was its first day so finishing touches were still being done) or for American style wrestling moves!
Very handy within 10 mins walk of Walthamstow Central on the Victoria Line.
Hope its well used and keeps going.

2016-05-19 13:56I've worked in Walthamstow for a large food retailer that's there, I personally think this is a fantastic place to have the ring, easy links into London and only two bus rides door to door for me, so im very happy, I will be using this place with some friends who are very interested in the idea of a ring, all the best to the owner, I've spread the word that there in a ring in Walthamstow and my buddy's are ready for me, to get into the ring, cant wait to use it,

2016-08-10 14:39I really enjoyed using the venue as it has both ring and mats, which means it would be good to get a group session/tournament going.
