my 'local' great gym if you are into ropes but there is also very decent bouldering section. At the beginning of the year they have amazing price promotion on the yearly pass, works cheaper than just 3 pay as you go visit p/month. Bargain!

Funnily I came to write a review only to find Chris Waller's review from 2 weeks ago basically said what I wanted to: great wall, horrible admin. We arrived with an hour to climb before my partner had to leave. She got to do one climb because the forms+test took over 45min. They didn't have enough forms, they printed new ones, the new ones didn't print properly. I'm really not blaming the desk staff here - the system is just terrible. I don't think I've been to another gym for the last decade that has been using paper forms rather than an online system where you can either do it in advance, on your phone at the desk, or on a tablet at the venue.

Very bad experience overall, probably won’t visit again. Took ages at the reception to get registered, then to get a credit refund coz they charged a student the full adult price. Mixed up the entry cards for different person. Really inefficient and slow communication. Different staff told us different information, not sure what to believe… Climbing wise, not a lot of auto belay toutes, a decent number of roped climbing routes and a lot of routes for lead climbing; so probably more suitable for people who want to do lead climbing. Bouldering space is also small and outdoor area closed.

I have been climbing here for about a year and I am rather happy with the facilities. The bouldering area has slabs and overhangs as well as various tools for grip training. You can warm up and stretch outside in summer and there is a heater to keep you warm in winter. The routes are also pretty amazing. They have some top ropes routes, some have clips for leading (you need to bring rope for that) and there are even a few auto belay devices. The safety standards are very high. There is a required test for belaying and tying in before you can wear a harness inside. The staff also run lessons if you are unsure of what to do even for small children. Depending on when you go it can get quite busy but as a student I can go in the middle of the day when most people are at work. So just turn up give it a go and have fun. Everyone is friendly so there is nothing to loose.

It’s not the Castle, but one of the biggest in west London. Great walls, great bouldering, courses, a little climbing shop, and superb services since the building hosts a very nice and big sport center. Just 5min by walking from Latimer Road tube station. Great value with a monthly subscription. Prices are good and the staff is friendly and competent 🙌🏻

One of the best climbing gyms in London. Plenty of walls for both top-roping and lead, with a selection of auto-belays too. Bouldering is slightly more limited but still decent. Atmosphere is always friendly with lots of support for new climbers

Very bad customer service. It takes ages to book and sometimes about 9H to reply to an email. I had booked 3 children and received confirmation email but had not made payment due to failed attempt calls from both parts. After communicating the problem by email to them I was told more than 9 h after my email, at 9PM that the 3 bookings done for the day after were now not possible as the class was full!!! funny thing is calling them is an absolute nightmare as they are never available.

Seems like a quality gym, but I was disappointed by the unhelpful staff/policies. I definitely wanted to boulder but wasn't sure if I wanted to use the auto belays when I was signing in. When they asked if I wanted to use the autos, I said I was just going to boulder first. Later I decided I wanted to use the auto belays so went back to the desk to ask about this. They told me that I had to do the safety check right at the start of the visit and now it wasn't possible. I wish they had mentioned this before or made an exception as it was a weekday morning and the reception was completely empty.

Reality fun with classes that are only £90 a month. Westway is one of if not the best Climbing center within the area. Would suggest to anyone who either loves Climbing or wants to learn how to.

If you want to get into or try rope climbing. This is a good gym to give a try, with a few auto belay, top rope and lead walls. What I would say tough is that the two former are limited in terms of grading, which I can understand. But also it would be nice to have some harder routes if you don't want to invest in a rope and learn to do lead.

Westway is a good climbing wall. As a physical venue it is one of the best in London. It is big, wheelchair accessible and not a labyrinth, the walls are tall, has lots of lines, the setting is pretty good. Obviously better for rope than bouldering but there are plenty of other options for the latter, Unfortunately it isn't a good climbing *centre* in terms of the management side. The registration process is archaic. Every other wall I can think of has an online waiver, but not Westway. Instead they have a paper registration form which will then be typed into an antique computer system. Also, if you take a belay test, prepare! And prepare to take it again because they'll lose the record of you taking it. The wall bans shirtless climbing. Whilst I tend not to do this anyway, it is basically a way of the wall trying to blame its apparent lack of inclusivity on its regular customers, rather than the attitude of the wall's staff and management, or its lack of ability to market itself towards people who don't already climb there. I know of the staff being unpleasant towards people who do external coaching elsewhere but who climb socially at Westway. The changing rooms / toilets usually have something going wrong. For several months there was no hot water. There is no cafe due to the previous franchisee having wider financial difficulties, which isn't a deal breaker if you know about it in advance! But if you wanted to, say, host a competition, you'd probably consider another wall for this reason. Also, the shop is adequate but mediocre compared to say, The Castle. Overall Westway is OK but is about as 'cool' as the BBC and soulless as Sports Direct.

Very very cold if you go there for bouldering during the winter which could lead to potential injuries if you're not properly warmed up. The matt was not the safest either and some of the grips didn't seem to work well. I injured my right elbow and right ankle there when my right foot slipped. Not the most pleasant bouldering gym experience although the staff was friendly.

Had a great day there. Love the long overhang. Bouldering setting was really good, nice variety of routes. Wooden campus board was fabulous. Two side by side speed wall style auto belay were fun. Some routes are quite reachy/ difficult for shorter kids. Would be better if there's a long cave/roof style bouldering area. It's a pity the old outdoor area is closed

Nice setting on the lead walls, refreshing change from the castle climbing centre. Seemed to have relatively little bouldering facility but the lead made up for it in spades. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cold though

Friendly, helpful staff. Great shop, and excellent climbing/bouldering opportunities. I'm am absolute beginner, but feel like I've struck gold with Westway 🙏🏼💘🏔️

Nice staff and cool walls! Limited and not so interesting routes for top ropers. Was just visiting the city so didn't bring my rope along. Was unable to rent a rope to experience the cool (looking) lead wall in the back. Next time!

Nice staff, the bouldering wall is good and challenging even for the beginners. But it was absolutely freezing cold and not really nice to train being that cold

Great lead comp wall (massive!) with some accessible grades, but it was flippin' freezing there last Sunday (2022/12/11)! There are heaters there, but only the one at the reception-end was on - the boulder and lead-comp end was unheated - on a day when it was 2 degrees outside!!! I hope they address this soon, else we won't be going back this winter!!

Amazing centre. All types of walls and in an nteresting setting - built around the base of an overpass. The climbing is good and caters to all levels. Bouldering is available over a split level and there are many lead and top rope sections to choose from.

So much fun! Different level climbing walls. They provide everything including safety tests. Daily classes and private tuition too.

Like 10% of the male population I have some colour blindness. I don't think the setters have considered this when chosing colour combinations on some boards. Having said that, some well-set routes were enjoyed.

Not the best for bouldering as they don’t have many walls for it but for rope climbing this place is fantastic! You are spoilt for choice. The staff here are friendly and the prices are fair for what you’re given. The users of the wall seem really friendly too and like it may be a good place to make friends! Considering this is west london the crowd still seem cool. Recommended for rope climbing
