Raya YunakovaJanuary 11, 2018Outdoor 50m pool, perfect water temperature, lanes for fast and slow swimmers. Makes for an amazing experience and is perfect for winter swims!

Nataly GuryanovaJuly 2, 2015Get there early to avoid queues :) 20p is needed for the locker (non- refundable). Smaller , but less crowded than lido in Brixton and their cafe serves healthy food options. 🏊🏻😊

Beautifully maintained lido that's perfect for fresh but heated swim all year round. £5 pay-per-swim.Upvote2Downvote
Evening StandardJuly 2, 2012Given how busy it gets over the summer, it might be worth waiting till later in the year when you'll have more space to splash around. On Tuesday evenings they have a female only session. Read more

Heated, even in the winter. Amazing place to go on a clear winters day, and as a bonus it'll be half as busy as in the summer months!Upvote1Downvote
Mathew WilsonMarch 29, 2015Go late. Such a nice place to be after 8pm (unless there's a big private class on which makes the changing room a bit horrible at closing time / 9pm.Upvote1Downvote

Claire BadhamsMarch 21, 2010You can't beat a dip in the lido on a spring day. Heated pool in a great location with authentic changing boothes around it, is a great experience and one you can't do anywhere else pretty much.UpvoteDownvote

Benjamin BowenOctober 2, 2011Jamorama today. A lot of 'swimmers' sitting on the side of the pool dangling their chubby pegs in the water. Come early at the weekend!!UpvoteDownvote

Mattia ScolariAugust 31, 2015Perfect for an outdoor swim if you don't mind a bit of crowd when the sun is out. Too bad for the fair right next to it, it feels like the air is kind of polluted by the trucks sometimes.UpvoteDownvote2
Anne ChamberlainJanuary 3, 2018Piscine extérieure chauffée avec solarium et café en plein milieu du parc London Fields. Toujours pris d'assaut dès qu'il fait beau, allez-y en fin de matinée pour éviter la foule.UpvoteDownvote
