London Fields Lido

Easy place to sit and eat, spread your legs if you must but this synthetic textured grass, it’s green colour is more than over-washed.This area has always been available for the working class for the past twenty years, and that sector is the one that makes the most use of the space. Currently, it is the vast majority of 9 to 5 trolley mums, hockey dads and gay parents that have purchased all the flats around. This capital desire of the rich has taken local spaces from the community, that use these places regularly for socialising, and interacting. As for now, filled with upper class, it still isn’t clear from rat infestations and asbestos, so in a way, the poor elements from the 60’s still remain in the area, like a ghost or a mother in law…

Great pool, clean facilities.Where to wear shoes and where not can get a bit confusing.Very busy, so pre-booking recommended

Lovely pool. Perfect for a sunny day. It gets busy so we prefer to come earlier. My daughter really enjoys it. Like the outdoor changing cubicles. Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Good and reasonably priced snacks and drinks available from small kiosk.

Love this place, being coming here twice a week for the last couple of months and it’s my favourite. Swimming outside is great, super clean and heated to a good amount, and so lovely to see the sky and the birds.

Great experience. A few minor quibbles. Wish people weren't permitted to sit on the edge of the entire length of the pool in the slowest lane with their legs in the water. I need to swim in this lane as not a strong swimmer. I have to take a break at the side during a length & can't when people are sitting here (I don't want to have to come very early or late to avoid this). Also, wish staff were more proactive in checking toilet paper supplies in the ladies'. There was no toilet paper in any of the cubicles.

An excellent park. Have visited have been coming here at least once a week for about five years. Daughter plays football on Saturday mornings with Funn Club - we love it. The park also has a good playground, the lido (outdoor swimming pool), pull-up bars, two public toilets facilities, tennis courts. Many great shops, markets and restaurants nearby. It’s definitely a busy scene during the warmer months but that’s mostly in the afternoons/evenings. Earlier in the day, it’s a great place to bring the kids. Highly recommended.

Lovely, clean lido! Space for bikes outside, lovely park for picnic after, Broadway food market a must-visit for after. Hour slots so it’s not a lounge-about kinda pool but there is space if you want to sit on your towel etc. shout out to the swimming costume driers in the toilets - a revelation!

Not going to lie to everyone on here, but this is the best outdoor swimming pool ever! Been coming here for years and the staff are always nice & approachable. The booking system is great & if your a member you can book it via the better app, just make sure to be quick to book your spot during the summer heat wave, spaces go within heart beat. The lockers are £1 via coin there are changing rooms inside & outside along side 2 showers outside. Honestly recommend coming here I always have a great swim !!!

I went here for first time today and it's really lovely. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful in explaining things and getting me started - thanks David! The pool is really great - beautiful to be able to swim and see trees. The changing facilities were small but really well designed so didn't feel squashed. The only thing that could be improved was the showers, you can't change the temperature, but that's a minor quibble given how fantastic this place is.
