A bit of history

The Kensington Leisure Centre opened in the late 20th century as a community sports and fitness hub. The spa was added later to meet growing demand for wellness services in the area. Notting Hill itself gained fame through the 1999 film of the same name, but the spa has no direct connection to that.
