Nataly GuryanovaJuly 3, 2015Biggest freshwater pool in Europe. It's almost 100m long! Today water was around 20 degrees, I found it very comfortable to swim at. There are no lockers in this lido. 🙌🏻
UK's largest pool by surface area. The brave (and foolish) swim here all year round. Be warned, water temp drops to 1C midwinter! Like swimming the Lake District in south-west London. Wonderful place.
Evening StandardJuly 2, 2012Well worth the trip just to hang out in front of its iconic rainbow-coloured changing huts. It's also open till 8pm on weekdays, making it the perfect place to forget office stress. Read more

"You better book in advance to get a table at this relaxed, pool-side cafe, as it's popular with the Herne Hill locals. I haven't tried dinner or cocktails, but breakfast is great - fresh and tasty."
