What visitors say
This pool is a little gem! Booked via the Better app for an evening lane swim. At £6.80 this was good value for money. Parking nearby is free after 6pm (you still have to enter your reg and get a ticket) and then a short walk over the bridge to the pool. Male/female changing rooms with toilets, hot indoor showers, and lockers (£1 refundable, get a band for the locker key from reception). It was the end of a long, hot day so the changing rooms were a bit dirty/smelly, but I could forgive this as the pool was an absolute dream. Heated to around 28°, immaculately clean, well organised lane swim which wasn't crowded. Pool regulars and staff were friendly too. I'll be stopping off here again - thanks for a relaxing swim in a lush pool 🙏

An idyllic spot for a picnic and a great place to bring the kids, cheap car parking close by and an outdoor lido situated in the park, fab place to relax and watch the boats sail up the Thames

Great pool, lovely staff. Great area to sunbath or relax whilst children play. Shallow end is large which is nice for little ones. Very relaxed atmosphere, my favourite outdoor pool.
