Various sources refer to the complex as a village that caters to all the needs of its occupants.  The Dolphin Square website cites the American travel writer Temple Fielding who described it as a "mini city".  They go on to add that, "... the size of the building, the number of tenants, the sheer scope of the amenities and the central location all belie the fact that Dolphin Square is indeed an oasis of calm in the city."  Those amenities include, "... a comprehensively-equipped fitness club complete with a wide choice of classes, 17 metre swimming pool, sauna and steam room, luxurious multi award-winning Moroccan spa, the Dolphin Bar & Grill with its superb selection of English cuisine, and an onsite shopping arcade where you can stock up on provisions, buy a newspaper or pick up those last minute essentials. Our own tennis court and croquet lawn on the banks of the adjacent River Thames are for exclusive use by residents. There are also two social clubs solely for tenants, should you choose to participate."
