We’re slightly in love with the Art Deco brilliant design achievements of London Lidos. There are a few out there, but to get you started here are 5 of our favourites for some family play time. Please always check the website for details, as we can’t be totally sure our info is the most up to date, and that the Lido hasn’t been hired out for a Kajagoogoo video on the day of your visit. xo
