Description

London Fields Lido was opened in 1932 and was the second outdoor pool to be opened by London County Council. It closed in 1988 and became derelict. After £2.5 million of refurbishments by Space & Place Architects (S+P Architects), the pool was re-opened in 2006. The work included the creation of a deck level pool with disabled access.
