Jos JonesJune 18, 2017Great lido just near Brixton in Brockwell park. 50m, gets really busy in the summer and isn't heated so gets pretty cold in winter! Sauna available.
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.- The GuardianApril 25, 2012"Built in 1937, and restored to its former glory in 2007, this this grade II art deco gem now has a great poolside cafe-cum-bar-cum-restaurant next to its Olympic-sized pool..."

The TelegraphJune 28, 2012This 50-metre-long pool is a 1930s Art Deco classic that is now Grade II listed and includes an award-winning café; a health and fitness centre adds to its appeal.
Twin set of showers by the changing room doors have hot and cold feeds. Try hot show, half a length head out of the water, then back to hit shower to get your body used to the chill.
G B.September 8, 2016Ready to wait at least 1,5h on a hot day!It wasn't clean because of the amount of people in the pool. I love continuous swimming in fast lane however it wasn't possible!!- Much improved refurbished spa you can get a guess pass for day entry, great to mix with a chilly winter swim.
- Nataly GuryanovaJuly 2, 2015Don't go here after 12 unless you prepared to wait 2 hours in a queue. The lido is huge, bigger than hackney one. Lockers are £1 (refundable). Cafe servers mainly burgers and fries. No healthy food:(
London-History.ComAugust 20, 2011A local gem in East London next to Brixton. Set up next to the outdoor swimming pool and enjoy the Art Deco Design of the building and the park surrounding it.- Evening StandardJuly 2, 2012One of South London's gems, with a very sophisticated cafe attached to it, Brockwell Lido is seriously aesthetically pleasing.

- The pool is open all winter long for the Brockwell Icicles. Come along if you dare or wait until double digit temperatures. Just don't be a wuss and wear a wetsuit;)
- book online non-members and skip the queue - http://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/Bookings infohttp://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/cms_uploads/file/Brockwell/2013/Fast_Track_Card_web.pdf
- Liam ProvenOctober 3, 2011Great open-air pool in the park that is the pearl of Brixton. A reasonable fiver to get in, great pool, good facilities. Read more
If you are using the lido, make sure you call in advance. The spa facilities ate pretty good as well.- Jenny StewartJuly 7, 2013On a hot weekend it's best to arrive by 9am to secure your spot. Gets very busy.
- Book your swim online to jump the queue. Drinks fountain at the back.
Don't worry about a locker, just bring your kitbag out by the pool
Gym is packed at the moment (Jan). Try and get down before or after the evening rush.- The cafe and pool are lovely, the gym and spa, isn't what is was, hopefully it'll get sorted
