Ruislip Lido, Recreational lake in Ruislip, England.

The 60-acre reservoir features a sandy beach, woodland trails, outdoor fitness equipment, and multiple children's play areas including a pirate ship.

Created as a feeder basin for the Grand Junction Canal in 1811, the site transformed into a recreational facility with swimming and boating in 1933.

The Waters Edge restaurant, constructed in 1996, maintains the architectural style of the original Art Deco building from the 1930s.

The lido provides two parking areas, with Willow Lawn reserved for HillingdonFirst cardholders, while others pay seasonal rates between £3.50 and £5.

Britain's longest 12-inch gauge miniature railway circles the reservoir through woodland, offering rides since 1945.
