SOUTH STREET ROMFORD

• This is the location wherefore my building will be placed.I have decided to create the Leisure Centre in a space that currently has no purpose or use. I found that the shape of this location works extremely well with my space and is big enough to fit it in and any extra communal spaces I choose to add,for example pavilions etc.This space is in Romford,East London and it is close to the Liberty and the Brewery,a highly populated shopping centre within Romford which means that the location will be visited by a lot of people and the location is therefore viable.

• I think the location is perfect for the multi-storey Leisure Centre as it appears that this land is not really of much use and the renovation of it would be very beneficial in attracting more tourists. I’ve been inside this building as I used to be in training for an Army Cadets (back in 2018) but the building in itself was really old and it doesn’t appear to have changed at all as it remains exactly the same and it looks exactly like how I remembered it. It could also create healthy competition as there is a Leisure Centre not too far away at Western Road (Sapphire Ice Leisure Centre) and the competition would draw and attract more customers as both Leisure Centres would be very intriguing.The nearest train station is only a few minutes away and so are the plentiful amount of bus stops, and so the Leisure Centre would be very accessible which is paramount.

Old and broken down and in desperate need of renovating – Most of the walls have graffiti and there are some windows that have been broken.Noone goes inside there and most of the rooms are vacated

The windows have no shutters, and the tree is overlapping onto the building

Where the car park is – The area is quite rugged and has a lot of graffiti on the floors and walls.The car park is always open as the gate doesn't close and hasn't closed for many years and so anyone can park there, which may cause some issues legally and can also be an area where people may gather and deal drugs.
