Day passes are available, so if you're just passing through, you can still experience what makes Physical Culture Gym one of the most respected strength training facilities in the UK.
I was in London for a weekend to visit a friend and, being 3 weeks out from a powerlifting meet, I had to workout. To say I'm so glad I found this gym would be an understatement: top level equipment (I'm talking Eleiko, Rogue...), amazing atmosphere, welcoming community and lovely old school vibe.
To top it off, the owner was extremely welcoming and available and I could clearly see that he absolutely loves his job. Hope to be back soon!!!
