Serpentine Lido
The Serpentine Lido, home to the oldest swimming club in Britain, and its additional paddling pool are great for both adults and children. You can also grab a bite to eat at the Lido Cafe Bar which has waterside tables.
The Serpentine Lido is a popular outdoor swimming area located in London's Hyde Park, near the Serpentine Lake. It's part of the Serpentine Swimming Club, which also encompasses the Serpentine Lake and the Serpentine Bridge. The Lido is primarily open in summer months, generally from May to September.
The main attractions of the Lido are its freshwater swimming, sunbathing, and picnic areas. It offers a safe and supervised environment for swimming, and many people come to the Lido for the unique experience of swimming in an open, central London location. There's also a children's playground nearby, making it a family-friendly destination.
While the Lido is open to the general public, there is a fee to enter. Visitors can also become members of the Serpentine Swimming Club, which allows access to the Lido and other facilities throughout the year.
