Canalside Activity Centre

Canalside Activity Centre sits on the Grand Union Canal at Canal Close, Ladbroke Grove, London (W10 5AY), and serves as a waterside hub for community sport and outdoor recreation.

Run by the London Sports Trust in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the centre offers kayaking sessions on the canal for both adults and young people, with programmes designed to be accessible and affordable.

Beyond paddling, the site hosts an after-school kayaking club for children aged 8–18 and a free weekly youth club featuring multi-sport activities, cooking, and water sports during spring and summer.

The centre functions as a practical access point to the canal, putting urban waterway recreation within reach of the local community.
