We’ve had gorgeous weather over the last couple of weeks and we hope it is here to stay! When the sun comes out you’ll see parks full of people basking in that lovely sunshine that we don’t get too too often, but it seems that this year we are lucky enough to enjoy many more days of catching those rays. Though we should never complain when the sun does decide to show its face, it can get a bit too warm and what better way to keep cool than to dive into a pool on a hot summer’s day.

Outdoor swimming pools

If this wasn’t your first choice of keeping cool this summer it will be now! London has its fair share of gems and you can definitely consider the lidos and outdoor swimming pools as some of them. Who says we can’t enjoy a ‘beach day’ without a beach? Pack those towels and swimming goggles, no need for caps, and get the little ones to one of these pools this summer. There are many dotted around London, so have a look at our list below and find out which one is the closest to you.
