What visitors say
Lovely lido, very nice water and slides and everything, kids have fun. Just be aware, it was very very very packed, like very packed. And be aware too that people smoking and vaping everywhere ,in the grass, benches and whatever, people have no respect for their kids or other kids. I see it everywhere people vapes and smoke just when they please but its not nice when you do not smoke and try to keep your kids smoke free too

This lido is definitely my favourite place to swim. Delighted to have been able to swim all through the winter. Staff are wonderful, hot showers and clean changing rooms. Super place to relax after a swim and enjoy the sunset. I would up my rating if the cafe did some luxury ice cream eg Purbeck, Jude’s or Hackney Gelato. Really appreciate all the new investment.

Middle part of pool closed and people jumping in on all sides. Making the exit areas unsafe as people getting jumped on. People running around and pushing others into the pool. Did not feel like a safe environment. Could not use the steps in the shallow ends as to packed with people. kicked 5 times just trying to get out the pool. To many people and not enough space to swim, pool and grass areas Over packed. No safe pool rules around the pool.
