Thames Lido, Historic swimming pool in Reading, England
The Thames Lido features a 25-meter outdoor pool maintained at 26 degrees Celsius, complemented by spa facilities and a restaurant overlooking the water.
Originally established in 1903 as the Ladies Swimming Bath, the Thames Lido represents one of the oldest surviving outdoor municipal pools from the Edwardian period.
The Grade II listed building maintains many original architectural elements from the early 1900s, including local manufacturers' craftsmanship and period design features.
The facility provides year-round swimming access with heated water, spa treatments, dining options, and designated times for families with children to enjoy the pool.
After standing unused for forty years, the pool underwent extensive restoration in 2017, integrating modern amenities while preserving its Edwardian character.
