Locating the Lido

The lido is in the north-west corner of London Fields Park in the heart of Hackney. The entrance is just off London Fields West Side (see address and map below).

About the Lido

The lido has been resurrected by Hackney Council, which has invested £2.5million to return the derelict pool in to an art deco icon for residents and visitors to the borough.

The Lido first opened in April 1932. It closed during the Second World War, re-opening in 1951 before closing again in 1986 when the Greater London Council, which ran all the London municipal lidos at the time, was abolished. It opened again on Thursday 26 October 2006.
