New Facilities at David Lloyd Cheam

David Lloyd Leisure has invested £675,000 in its Cheam club as part of a major investment programme to continue providing members with unrivalled facilities to achieve their health and fitness goals.

Europe's leading health, sports and leisure group has upgraded the DL Kids facility at David Lloyd Cheam in Ewell Rd, Sutton, as well as creating a bespoke DLicious cafebar serving members healthy and balanced meals from David Lloyd Leisure's award-winning menu* supporting active lives.

Work on the refurbishment scheme, forming part of a wider £50m facilities investment programme across the group's estate, began in May and has now been completed.

The enhanced DL Kids children's area comprises two multi-purpose activity rooms, a soft play area and an outdoor area, providing children aged 0-11 years with an extensive range of programmes specifically designed to complement the way they learn in pre-school and school time.

Activities include arts and crafts, creative play, hundreds of types of games and sports coaching, as well as birthday parties, after-school clubs and DL Kids Holiday Active programmes running during the school holidays.

Members will also be able to work, unwind or enjoy a meal in the new DLicious cafebar, which includes an adult-only seating area, offering the whole family a great range of healthy menu options in modern, stylish and relaxing surroundings.
