The Cro
ssway Gymnastics Centre (formerly the Crossway Gym Club) was
developed by a fund raising venture by local people to establish an
affordable athletic facility for children and young people of all
abilities.Costing over £350,000 to build, the centre was officially opened in July 1991 by Dave Rozzell, the then national coach for Special Needs Olympics.
Over the years Crossway has provided a quality service to the local and surrounding community being a focal point for Thamesmead in particular.

The Current Facilty
Crossway
is led by a head coach with a team of fully qualified coaches. The
Centre offers a service to enable gymnasts to train to an elite standard
representing the local authorities of Bexley and Greenwich, and the
London Gymnastics Federation (LGF), at local, regional and national
levels.
Classes are provided for recreational beginners and many of these youngsters progress through the centre's squads to acheive a high standard of gymnastics. Those who cannot obtain an elite level are encouraged to achieve their highest standard according to their ability.
The
centre also caters for Disability Gymnastics across the boroughs - a
service welcomed by carers and physiotherapists. Disability 
Gymnastics members
find their sport rewarding, while improving their mobility and social
skills, they also gain a sense of achievement.
