Favorite gyms outside of the US?

I have to travel to Europe (England and Spain) for work later this year and was wondering what gyms people frequent in the major cities?

I'm also linking to a related post that aims to improve MP's directory of non-US gyms.

"List of gyms in Europe, Asia, etc."

Thanks.

2nd on Innsbruck. While you're there, go outside. Hire a guide if need to.

These have all been added to MP's gym directory and can be found visually on MP's map of gyms - see link in initial post.

Directory has improved substantially in a short amount of time but still has a long way to go.

Article: https://www.gymclimber.com/how-we-went-from-this-to-this/

"Overseas, Germany—a country smaller than the state of Texas—alone has more than 280 climbing gyms. Japan, about the same size as California, has over 500."

Monk Bouldergym.  I think the original was in Eindhoven and now there are a few around Amsterdam.  Great setting, great atmosphere, great people!

Gran Pared (great wall), in Bogota, Colombia has a good indoor lead wall. Not so great for bouldering though.

The Rock Foundry in Sheffield UK - one of the very first rock gyms and now one of the best.
Bjoeks Gym in Groningen, The Netherlands. Home to the second-largest stand alone outdoor climbing wall in the world. But just an awesome place to visit (my local gym).

MP has reached 500 gyms mapped x-US, but there are still hundreds more missing. If stuck at home and knowledgable about a specific country or region, get after it and help the gyms bounce back post-crisis.

Awesome Walls in Dublin and Cork, Ireland.  

Another vote for boulderbar in Vienna.

Le Mur de Lyon in Lyon.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
