London Fields Lido London Fields West Side London Uk
We’re talking 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. That’s bracing. In summer, it might hit 70°F—if you’re lucky.
This isn’t a heated spa. It’s a lido, so it’s unheated and unfiltered by chemicals. The water is chlorinated, but it feels raw and alive.
First timers gasp. Then they laugh. Then they shiver and do it again. The cold is part of the charm.
Quirky fact #1: Two pools for the price of one
The lido has two distinct sections. A 50-meter olympic lane pool for serious swimmers. And a large, shallower area for kids and loungers.
But here’s the funny bit: the "shallow" end is still very deep. It’s about 1.2 meters at its lowest. Adults can still splash around without touching bottom.
Insider tip: bring water shoes. The concrete bottom is smooth but can get slippery when wet. Nobody wants a bruised bum.
