London Gymnastics Training

Just getting back into the swing of things myself here after relocating to London from the States. Down in Balham, actually, but don't know of any gyms :/ Will be putting in some stall bars in my spare room soon, though.
Have you found anything yourself?
Hi Neil,
I'm not far from you - near Crystal Palace.
Have you got the stall bars in? I have rings, mats etc. but scared of the consequences of putting stall bars in wrong (although weirdly have a lot of confidence in my rings install!).
Happy to host a few people to do some training sometime. Am yet to find a gym with stall bars nearby - they all seem to be in Hackney, with all teh kewl kidz

@Rich Bunto - tagging you in this
Hi Alex/Neil/Fiona,
I'm also near Crystal Palace, and for stall bars I use the children's play area in Dulwich Park. I find that if I get there by about 7.30am I can go through to about 8.30am completely uninterrupted! I have tried going later--for example when my wife is running in the Park Run on a Saturday--but then I'm sharing with little kids. Kind of fun...but it does make you a bit self-conscious.
There's also a ladder/monkey bar kind of setup in Brockwell Park (Brixton), near the BMX track. I used to go there, and there's not much to choose between that and Dulwich Park. I just settled on the latter in the end because of how it works with the early morning traffic.
So if you feel like training in the fresh air--and fresh frost, snow, and rain, of course--then either of these two spots works pretty well, I think.
If any of you guys fancy meeting up then Friday is my usual day (in Dulwich Park) when I'll do a bit of skipping, followed by core and HS2. I'm sometimes there for a second session, and if I do it's either Monday or Wednesday depending on, well...you know...life.
All the best,
Mark
