Description

The Twickenham Open Air Baths (also known as Twickenham Baths or Twickenham Lido) opened in 1935. After closure in 1981, the baths were derelict for more than 20 years. The site was re-landscaped and re-opened in 2011 as the Diamond Jubilee Gardens. The diving board and outline of the pool remained in place.
