Moving - relocation

If you are moving and cannot reasonably use the centre because of distance, provide proof such as utility bill, tenancy agreement or signed property exchange dated after your membership start. Sidcup Leisure Centre policies do not publish a specific relocation exception; supply documentation and request cancellation in writing.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Price increase

If Sidcup Leisure Centre increases the price during a fixed contract term and you do not accept the new price, you may cancel under the contract change terms if the contract allows exit for price rises. Provide the price change notice and your written rejection. Check the membership terms in the LLeisure terms PDF for exact centre policy.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015 - unfair terms protection and the CMA guidance on auto-renewal and price changes.

Death of the subscriber

Submit a death certificate and proof of your relationship. Centres typically accept death as a legitimate ground for termination; request written confirmation. Sidcup Leisure Centre does not publish a separate public policy, so deliver documentation to the centre manager or [email protected].

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

Legitimate ground (medical incapacity or long-term illness)

Provide a doctor’s letter or medical certificate stating why you cannot use the services. If accepted, the centre may cancel the contract or offer a freeze. LLeisure and Places Leisure sites note medical grounds are considered case by case; provide medical evidence.

Applicable law: Consumer Rights Act 2015.

End of commitment / After minimum term

After the minimum term, Places Leisure policies require giving at least 15 days notice before your next payment date; for Sidcup Leisure Centre the standard monthly membership notice is 30 days. Check your membership agreement for the defined minimum term and follow the notice period exactly.

Applicable law: Contract terms under Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Cooling-off period (change your mind)

If you bought the membership online, by phone or away from the premises you normally have a 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. To cancel during this period send a written or emailed cancellation or take a notice to the Manager at the Centre within 14 days of joining. If you used the facilities during the cooling-off period the centre can deduct the cost of services used before refunding the remainder.

Applicable law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013; new subscription cooling-off provisions: UK legislation 2024 - cooling-off rights.

Before you cancel: negotiate

Research shows no publicly reported retention offers specific to Sidcup Leisure Centre. If you want to reduce cost, request these options in writing to [email protected]:

• Freeze the membership for a defined period due to illness or extended absence.
• Downgrade to a swim-only or off-peak plan if available.
• Switch to pay-as-you-go day passes via Hussle or a Monthly+ pass if you need intermittent access.

How to ask: email with subject "Request to review membership fees and options" and list the alternative you want. Ask for a written offer and any end date for the concession.

What cancelling saves you - math

Example: Monthly+ Pass on Hussle at Sidcup Leisure Centre is priced at £47.25 per month.

• £47.25 x 12 = £567.00 per year.
• Switch to The Gym Group London Stratford at £27.99 per month: £27.99 x 12 = £335.88 per year.
• Annual saving by switching from Sidcup Monthly+ to The Gym Group: £567.00 - £335.88 = £231.12 per year.
• Another plan: a trial offer listed at £10 per month equals £10 x 12 = £120.00 per year.

Cheapest listed alternative among competitors: The Gym Group London Stratford at £27.99 per month (£335.88 per year).

Key consumer law

United Kingdom protections include the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. These statutes give you a 14-day cooling-off right for contracts concluded online or off-premises and protect against unfair contract terms and disproportionate cancellation penalties.

Auto-renewal and unfair terms

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practices. If you think a renewal term is unclear or a cancellation process is unduly difficult, complain to the centre first in writing and escalate to Citizens Advice for guidance: Citizens Advice - cancelling a service.

Escalation steps

1. Complain to Sidcup Leisure Centre in writing and allow reasonable time to respond. 2. If unresolved, seek Citizens Advice help or contact the relevant ombudsman. 3. For card payments, consider a Section 75 claim or a chargeback through your card issuer if eligible.

Where to read the rules

Membership terms are published by the operator; see the operator terms for LLeisure here: LLeisure terms and conditions (Dec 2025). Places Leisure membership terms are published here: Places Leisure terms.

Access and final day

Your access typically continues for the 30 day notice period. Keep proof of your cancellation date and use of facilities up to the final day.

Data, billing and refunds

Request written confirmation of the cancellation and final invoice. Refunds for cooling-off cancellations are processed to your bank account; LLeisure reports refunds take approximately 10 working days. If services were used during the cooling-off period the centre can deduct charges for used services from the refund.

Re-activation and rejoin

If you want to re-join later, ask the centre for current joining fees and offers. Some third-party passes such as Hussle Monthly+ allow stop-and-start membership, which may be an alternative to a long-term tie-in.

Follow these steps to cancel cleanly and protect your rights.

• 1. Find your membership number and membership start date.
• 2. Decide cancellation method: online form, email, post or app.
• 3. If cancelling by post, send a signed letter by recorded delivery to: Sidcup Leisure Centre, Hurst Road, DA15 9AE Sidcup, United Kingdom.
• 4. If cancelling by bank instruction, cancel your Direct Debit with your bank and allow 5 working days for the bank to process the instruction.
• 5. Email [email protected] with the cancellation request and keep the sent copy.
• 6. Save any confirmation emails, app receipts, registered post slip or call reference numbers.
• 7. Monitor your bank statement to ensure no unauthorised payments after the notice period. If a payment posts incorrectly, raise it with the centre and your bank immediately.
• 8. If you need a refund under cooling-off, request it in writing and expect up to 10 working days for processing.
