Parliament Hill Lido, London


Stepping into this pool required a level of commitment. We sparkled all day from the chill (21C/69F), that faded somewhat with lap exertions... The dinted, silver-lining gleamed through the turquoise water as the sun shone in bursts over sections of its vastness. We felt invincible!

The fantastic 1930s setting and immensely long changing room with brightly coloured doors took us back in time.

The children huddled beneath loaned towels and found new friends to hurtle around the paddling pool with, and for M the lure of swooshing down the slide and on to her waiting 'surf' board made up for the temperature shock.

We love Parliament Hill Lido!
