Vauxwall - Some interesting new developments on the London Climbing scene

This week we have been chatting to @vauxwall  on Twitter about an exciting new bouldering centre due to be opening early in 2014. They didn’t have much information to share with us but the basics of the centre are:

100m from Vauxhall tube

400m+ climbing surface

Training area

Chalk extraction

Air con!

Planning permission was applied for and has been granted and as far as we can tell work is underway! We believe The Lakeland Climbing Centre are involved in the project but this hasn’t been confirmed.

It’s great to hear that the London climbing scene is expanding and we can’t wait to find out more about the centre. The project clearly fills the gap left by the loss of the original Arch at London Bridge, which was shut to make way for station re-developments back in Oct-12.

We have been promised by Vauxwall that they will give us more info as the project progresses so watch this space for more information!!
