The kind where they only have platforms, bars and plates. There seem to be loads in and around Lancashire, surely there must be some in London.

Also preferably one that's open more than just once every alternate leap year and then you can only go if you receive coaching or something (so that excludes Bethnal Green). I'd like to be able to just go there and train.

I cant stand normal gyms anymore.

Commando Temple, Deptford (has two platforms, loads of bars and plates)

Genesis - Wembley (not ideal for olympic lifting but it's very cheap)

White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre, Tottenham. Or they did when I used to work there and Harringey council owned it.

In central - there's the new City Sport place, owned by City University. It's on.... City Road!

I think only one platform, but it's not heaving during the day. You'll have to put up with other students though. Mainly Chinese.

I train at physical culture in Putney, one of the best gyms I've trained at and definitely one of the best in London. Not sure how that works for you travel wise though.
