The best of London’s outdoor swimming pools
With the heatwave comes another chance to cool off in London’s outdoor swimming pools, ponds and lakes. From Hampstead Ponds to Brockwell Park Lido, here's where to swim outside in London this summer.
Brockwell Lido delivers a scenic and multi-sensory swimming experience; with Grade II-listed art deco architecture, and an award-winning café (recently taken over by pizza mini-chain 400 Rabbits), a refreshing dip is only part of this pool’s appeal.
Not nearly as tranquil as other outdoor sites, on hot summer days, you'll find the pool swarming with splashing swimmers and teens lounging around the water's edge. But for inner-city al fresco swimming south of the river, Brockwell Lido is a certified favourite.
