The Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in south London, established in 1964, is set to receive significant upgrades, including a complete rebuild of its 50m swimming pool that has been closed since 2020. Following a petition from over 40,000 people, Mayor Sadiq Khan announced a comprehensive redevelopment plan in 2023. The renovation involves revamping swimming and indoor facilities, external pitches, and the athletics stadium, with completion expected by 2028. The site is Grade II-listed, which poses challenges to redevelopment while ensuring historical preservation.
The 50m swimming pool at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre will undergo significant upgrades, addressing years of deterioration and ensuring its historical importance endures.
Sadiq Khan emphasized the importance of the redevelopment, mentioning that this investment will secure the facility's future while honoring its historical significance.
The upgrades will also enhance the athletic environment, helping future stars train in a facility that meets modern standards.
While renovations follow heritage guidelines due to the site's Grade II-listed status, minor works have already improved the centre's facilities.
