Nestled in the heart of Catford, London, Abbotshall Healthy Lifestyle Centre (HLC) is led by a passionate team dedicated to promoting healthy living and a strong sense of community.
Abbotshall’s on-site café is a hit among locals, offering a range of tasty and healthy food and drinks, perfect for a quick coffee or a relaxed meal. Families will find it especially inviting with its child-friendly atmosphere and outdoor seating, ideal for enjoying the neighbouring green space. The friendly staff, always ready for a chat, are happy to share details about the centre’s daily events.
Sports enthusiasts will love the spacious playing field, an enclosed area hidden behind rows of houses and comparable to three junior football pitches. This field is perfect for a game or training session and even includes a climbing frame and slide for the youngsters. On weekends, Abbotshall hosts football sessions for pre-schoolers and is the official training ground for the Football Domination youth teams.
Abbotshall also takes pride in its community garden and urban wildlife corner. Volunteers work diligently to grow a variety of produce that often finds its way to the café’s menu, maintaining a local and fresh approach. Joining as a gardening volunteer is a great way to learn new skills, stay active, and meet new friends.
There’s never a dull moment at Abbotshall, with events ranging from fireworks displays and summer fairs to sports days and family campouts. It’s the go-to spot for community gatherings and celebrations.
