Thames LIDO

Great SPA; nicely organised and not too expensive. Very friendly staff. Pool: it was at 24 degrees when we came. Quite cold but nice if you go into the sauna first. Jacuzzi: much warmer, spent most of my time here. Low on bubbles and very relaxing. Sauna: pretty large and spacious. You need your towel for this one. Steam room: my preferred hot one. It got pretty steamy in there, especially if you stand up. Sitting down was easy. We had breakfast there also and it was delicious; well worth our trip out from London.

I recently visited this winter swimming pool, and it exceeded my expectations! The water temperature was ideal — warm enough to be comfortable even on the coldest days, but still refreshing. The pool area was clean and well-maintained, and the locker rooms were tidy with plenty of space. What really stood out was the atmosphere: calm, relaxing, and perfect for both exercise and leisure. The staff were welcoming and always ready to help, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Whether you’re a serious swimmer or just looking to unwind, this is the perfect spot for winter swimming. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly this season!
