Helen Henry 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I visited Brockwell Lido just to get some information regarding the Spa and Gym. The young gentleman on reception was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed. I was also able to view the area of the spa and gym which I was very Impressed with so I think I will join and start going to the gym and spa very soon.

Fantastic experience: Can’t imagine life without this lido. It keeps people off the streets and in the water.

Cem Okcu 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It’s not bad actually. Pool little bit cool. It is very difficult to get a book.

Sarah WB 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: While the Lido is an expensive place to swim, it’s worth it as they control the numbers coming in and while it’s busy, it’s never too crowded to enjoy yourself. The lanes have enough space for everyone. Booking on the app is easy and if you want to try to grab a last minute slot, refresh it often, but you do need to book during busy times.

Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant couple of hours in the sunshine at this lido. It was well organised - had to queue to get in at arrival time so they could check booking details but it was fast moving and efficient. Having read previous reviews about the changing rooms we came dressed to swim so can’t comment on those. There was plenty of space around the pool to lay towels, and while we weren’t early enough to get deckchairs there were a good number of them. There’s a cafe doing pizzas among other things and, at the time of our visit, a food stall cooking fresh chicken. Only small issue was I didn’t have a £1 for the locker and reception is cashless so couldn’t swap my change for one, however the people running the food stall kindly did this for me. Selling locker tokens at reception would help. It was busy on a very sunny Sunday afternoon, but there was plenty of space in the pool and it was well lifeguarded and safe for kids with plenty of space for everyone and separate lane swimming. We used public transport but you can also park for free for two hours, although the car park is fairly small.

Fantastic experience: Great, clean, well-supervised pool with systems in place to ensure both casual swimmers and those looking to work out have the space to do so.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym, half the price of more commercial places. Massive outdoor pool (if you’re brave enough) along with simple sauna / steam / hydro pool.

Lorena Cerveron 2 years ago

Positive experience: Despite a few transactional issues with my membership, the staff and all services at the Lido were wonderful. Plenty of space to swim as fast or slow as one wants, which is appreciated. Will definitely join back closer to spring - good luck to the brave winter swimmers! Would recommend an update on the Fusion Lifestyle app as a major improvement (I assume this is not the Lido's job though!).

Diana Bromwich 2 years ago

Positive experience: Blue sky, Autumn trees, 12c in the water. Perfect start to a November day. Shame about the changing room.

Katie Docwra 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Gorgeous pool, spacious and never overcrowded in the beautiful setting of Brockwell Park. Great way to spend a sunny day. The pizzeria café is excellent too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Once you get there 5 stars. Booking a swim? O. Slowest and most frustrating website I've... *Checks annals of web browsing since the 90s* used since the 90s

shieleen mckenzie 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: it is a fantastic place to go ing the summer (and on any day you find extremely hot). The water is cold but you can get used to it very quickly, and it has a caffè/pizza place right next to it.

Damian Hawkins 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We love this place. The family slot is great. Takes some courage to jump in the cold water, but once you're in its great. Alot of space around the pool as well. And a nice cafe/pizzeria

Emma Toler 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love the whole experience, limited facilities because of Covid, but there is a shower. 50m Pool not heated but you soon get used to it, plenty of space, and great coffee shop. Disappointed with their booking system.

Matthew Halfacree 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved the outside swim. Freezing cold but absolutely Brill fun and the warm shower afterwards was most welcome!

PC S.O.S. 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love swimming here is a good place to relax and enjoy over the summer but also you can go in winter and now there is a pizzeria just there, so you can have pizza drinks etc etc!!! Go and try is just in Brockwell Park Entrance by the carpark.

Michael Priest 2 years ago

Beata Kot 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a lovely place. I have feel like on holidays:) great music

Mj Keane 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was delighted that the lido managed to stay open even with covid 19 tier 4 restrictions. You do have to book to get a swim and get changed on side of pool as changing rooms are closed. There is a hot outdoor shower which comes in handy. Lanes are VERY wide so plenty of space to avoid bumping in to anyone. There are plenty of cycle racks to park your bike outside.

Ez- Le 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went to a baby class for pre-crawlers with Whippersnappers, based inside the Lido building. Baby enjoyed the lights and the instruments. Room was clean and comfortable. I'll take baby back again. There's a Car park on the park just outside the building.

Fantastic experience: Best place to swim and staff friendly and very helpful .

Molly Zeidler 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Due to vivid the changing rooms and some of the facilities are closed and you need to book in advance for a strictly scheduled time slot, This time if year (September) is the best as it's less busy than full summer but still balmy evenings with a late sunset meant by drying outside was a lovely experience, all the punters are very friendly and accommodating too.

James Davies 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love it here. Very busy during the summer but you can swim all year round. Only for brave souls

Fantastic experience: Can never wax lyrically enough about the joys and delights of outdoor swimming. Brockwell is one of the best....2.5km get it done! With sun, it's delicious....staff very helpful and looking out for everyones safety

Tracy Mattar 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had a fantastic last few months at the pool. The pool is clean, the staff will do anything to help. Just a great bunch of people. The booking is easy. Which i never thought i would say as i am kicking the arse of ninety and and using a computer or phone is not my thing. . So really just a thankyou for making my life bearable during this time. Tracy.

Ruby Tuesday 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite places to meet friends and get coffee. Located overlooking the lido and sitting on the edge of the beautiful Brockwell Park, the cafe feels like a little escape from London. The coffee is good and the menu is affordable. It’s popular with young parents during the day which can sometimes make it a bit noisy. There’s an outside space which is great in summer. On the downside the toilets are usually pretty grim and the door closer is broken which can make it a bit drafty on colder days.

Grace Churchill 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The paddling pool here has fountains and a nice grassy area to sit on, it is also fenced off so no dogs can get in. We visited here on the 44th annual county show . It is free entry for everyone . All can attend young and old . Brockwell Park has always been beautiful and has always hosted the annual Lambeth Country Show for as long as I can remember.

JJ Stillwell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Done a couple swims here now, lovely vibe, sauna if you're chilly afterwards, helpful staff and regulars brimming with tips. Get the before 10 for a cheaper swim!

Bryn Dymott 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Even on the hottest day of the year, so far, and despite queuing for 25 minutes before getting to the pool this is a delightful, clean and well organised lido. The lanes were wide with friendly, polite swimmers and the water at 19C was a great temperature for a longish swim. Thanks Brockwell, a hidden gem in London. Thanks Lido Guide, published last month, for tipping us off.

Jo Blick 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brockwell park was the only bearable piece of lambeth I found. The swimming pool is an art deco masterpiece of social genius. But it's in London; a vile carbunckle on the face of planet earth.Get out while u can. After a good swim and a walk.

Johnny Not Rotten 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place. Been in summer - best to get there early as gets busy and you'll queue if you turn up later. Good atmosphere and great swimming.

Nur R 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice pool. Was quiet the day I went there so I enjoyed!

Freedom Deane 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely lunchtime break spot. I work nearby so was able to come down during lunch and lie in the sun and enjoy a clean, easy going afternoon at Brockwell lido. Sun, swimming and hot chips from the cafe after - really what more could you ask for.. in inner city London.. it’s pretty amazing

Robin Long 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best places to be in London on a hot summer day.

Dee lieta 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing pool. Loved it so much and wish we had something like this where I lived. People of southeast London you are so lucky to have this stunning pool on your doorstep.

Anja Hordejuk 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really love brockwell lido. It does get very busy towards the summer , and wait time can be around 1 hour , but the vibe is great and service is always nice and professional. It is very safe with about 6 or 7 lifeguards, who are visibly focused. Plenty of freedom allowed with ballgames played, inflatable toys floating about , water guns and jumping into the pool practised. Indoors you've got some pretty rad food and ice cream options in the cafe. Fun times !

Mads Leonard Holvik 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a winter swimming review: This place rocks! I spent a weekend as a tourist in London in late march 2017, and went swimming saturday and sunday morning. 10 c water, sunny sky, likeminded people, nice little sauna, you tell me what is not to like? A woman I met told me she swims 2-3 times a week all year, and she does one lap per degree in the water. Many of the people frequenting this place are likely tough as nails and they all have a mentality and curiosity about challenging themselves that I find admirable. The summer swimming there I don`t know much about, because in the summer it is too warm and crowded to swim, would need to cool it down with an ice berg. 5 thumbs up, ehh.. I mean 5 stars!

Ian Kearney 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of London's absolute treasures. Not only is this pool pristine and well run, it also has an incredible cafe and is situated in a beautiful park. Whether you fancy flexing your swimming muscles (in the 'slow, medium and fast lanes') or just want an escapist dip - this is the ultimate spot. The pool isn't heated so bring some cozy clothes to warm up after. Lifeguards are on duty year round.

Andy B 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wake up London and please see this amazing pool for what it is. 50 metres of glorious outdoor unheated swimming pool topped with cafe/bar to defrost if you are daft enough to swim in the middle of winter. This is an absolute gem that could only afford to exist in London. If you want to flex yours pecs or show off your tan the go elsewhere. Busier than a Marbella beach in July at the mearest hint of sunshine, only the true south London hardcore show up at other times because they have special powers! :)
