Why locals recommend it
The largest freshwater pool in England is 90m by 30m and has a thriving local community of swimmers. Open since 1906 and surrounded by trees and red, yellow, or green changing cubicles, it makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. When the sun is out, the water is dazzling. There’s a decent café too. The lido is open to the public in the summer months, but only open to members October through May. In January, you can watch, or even sign up for, the Cold Water Swimming Championships—a real spectacle. Brad Pitt’s even visited.
Tips from locals
A great place for a swim! Because it's an open air pool, it's ideal in the summer.
There are several lido's in London - this is one of the most iconic with its Art Deco changing rooms round the pool. The water isn't heated, so beware, but its very popular nevertheless!
