South London’s vast pool, with its iconic, Pantone-coloured changing huts, has been treasured by fortunate locals since it opened as a bathing lake in 1906. At just over 90m, it’s this country’s largest outdoor freshwater pool and inspires devoted swimming all through the year, although to swim in winter you must be a member of the well established South London Swimming Club, which has been based at the lido almost as long as it has existed. Facilities include a paddling pool for kids, a café, and lockers for small valuables.

We went there last Sunday lunchtime. Beware : the showers are scalding hot. The pool itself is not heated, and this is not indicated on the website. Adult entry is more than £6.00, the pool is dirty around the edges (muddy puddles) as is the bottom of the pool. Lots of leaves and twigs floating in the deep end. None of the staff seemed bothered about any of this. All in all a very disappointing experience considering the price we paid.
