Outdoor Pools in London to Help Combat the Heat.

-
Since London is getting cooked alive by the sun and us Londoners just don’t know how to deal with that, why not go for a quick dip?  Take a trip down to any of these London outdoor pools, and lidos. As we are really getting into the heat of summer now, you can really enjoy the sun but still relax, as it’s not always easy to just lay out in it for 6 hours a day. Most of them offer more than just a spot to splash about though, with safes, and other exercise facilities, you can go with friends or family and make a day of it!

Brockwell Lido has a huge Olympic sized pool, and not only that has a gym, hydrotherapy zone and an indoor cycling studio! What more could you ask for? Well if you're about to say food, then they have you covered already. With their Art Deco Grade II-listed Lido Cafe, they serve all day long whether you want a light snack or a candlelit dinner. Now if you’re still asking for more we may call you greedy but Brockwell goes the whole nine yards with summer screenings at their Luna Cinema which hosts lots of film nights over the summer.
The Oasis Sports Centre has a beautiful rooftop pool not only just five minutes away from Holborn but also perfectly heated. It is the West End’s only outdoor pool, so you aren’t exactly spoilt for choice with this area, but you don’t need to be if you just have a look at the beautiful views. There are also squash courts and fitness studios that hold yoga, pilates, and group cycles.
London Fields Lido is a great place to go. Swimming outdoors can get very chilly, especially in our lovely city of London...or just England in general, our weather is never great. But none of that matters when this lido is a heated, open-air pool. They have lane swimming as well if you're going to be truly thorough about your swim. With swim doctor classes as well to help with your speed and technique so there’s opportunities or everyone to enjoy it. If after all of that exercise you’re feeling a bit peckish you can go to the cafe for a bite to eat and spend the rest of the day lazing out in the sun on a deckchair.
Hampton Pool isn’t as well known as some of the others on this list, but that’s perfect for you to use their pools in peace. It has two heated pools that are always kept perfectly at 28C. The main pool is 36M long and the second one is that bit shorter for children and parents. They have adult only classes and half the pool is always used for lane swimming. So whether you are there to properly exercise or for a bit of fun you know you will always be accommodated for, especially as it’s open all year round as well. Then after you’re done you can head over to the Royal Bushy Park which is just across the street and lay out in the sun.

So hopefully, there are enough options here for you to either enjoy a thorough swim or a leisurely one. On your own or with family and friends.There ares lots to do and all right in the heart of London so you're not far away from everything else. Just make sure if you eat a lot in the cafes that you lay out on one of the sunbeds for at least 30 minutes before going back in for another dip.

Sometimes when you’re online you’ve finished scrolling Tik Tok for the past four hours and now you want to do something else. Here’s a list of random websites for you to truly just drain sometime into to get the hours going. You may even learn something new whilst you’re at it.  Starting off with a fun game, this is called ‘Little Alchemy’. I’ve played this game alone and with friends, and it definitely can become quite addicting. This is a very basic game where you start with the base elements. Earth, fire, water, air is all you get. You have to piece these together to make new objects, animals, etc. Such as putting Earth and fire together you get lava,
