Lots and lots of routes in a cozy basement setting. Normally not too busy when I have been there. Setting is very good with creative routes and a lot of variety in different styles. Also has a fully equipped gym upstairs. For pure bouldering this is one of my favorite gyms in London

Great staff, super helpful and will even show you around. Fantastic climbing wall and gym. Shows to hire, FREE CHALK !! and constantly changing the climbs so there's a new rotation al the time.

Good location, only 5 mins walk from bus stop. No parking unfortunately (but that's london for you) The place is large and has a alot of routes to choose from, I think the grading is on the softer side which is perfect for beginners. So if your new to bouldering I would definitely recommend this place. Great place to climb, especially during the colder months as it's nice and warm unlike some places where I end up cutting my day short because of the cold. Facilities are nice and clean, music was not too loud, very relaxed atmosphere, free WiFi, there is also a nice cafe and have a place to store your bycicle securely. There is free chalk which is nice to see (not many places provide this). Stronghold also has a second location in Tottenham, so if you are ever in that area I would recommend you check it out. Again, another great place to climb and there is free parking (limited though).

Decent gym but very overpriced. Nice variety of walls, nice sets and a kilter. Though it's not very clean, loads of rubber build up on footholds, wet toilet floors and little ventilation/ airflow so there is so much chalk in the air.

Spacious and welcoming. Stronghold London Fields is my climbing centre because of its proximity to home. I am lucky it's so close. I've been using the gym for more than a year and I love it there. Staff members are lovely and a wall is set every week.
