Londoners are well-blessed with year-round lidos; of the 14 publicly accessible lidos in the capital only one is truly seasonal – the diminutive Finchley. If you’re a visitor to the capital, however, not all the London pools are going to be easy to squeeze in a visit to if you’re there on a brief trip such as, for instance, to do a bit of Christmas shopping. We can safely mention Christmas now, right?
For the visiting swimmer, however, Camden Oasis is an absolute delight. Right in the heart of central London, easily accessible by public transport and surrounded by theatres and shops it lends itself well to a festive day trip. If you’re travelling with non-swimmers, they’ll find plenty to entertain themselves while you nip away to work off a few mince pies.
