World's first YMCA in central London to close
Available for over a year
The world's first YMCA, which is central London's largest gym, is due to close in February after being sold. The club near Tottenham Court Road blames demographic changes, the age of the building and soaring maintenance costs which "are now not being covered by the number of members the club can sustain". Â鶹Éç London's Gopal Virdee went down to the YMCA to see how people felt about the news of its closure.
