Fly-through for West Drayton

On the back of winning planning approval last year for the new leisure centre in West Drayton, we thought we would share the flythrough we made (short and long versions!). The uplifting design for the multi-activity centre in the London Borough of Hillingdon, West London is expected to go on site autumn 2021. The sports complex enables family fun and committed workouts with two pools, a gym and a roof top sports pitch.
