Lidos and Pools UK

Documenting open, closed, derelict and disappeared lidos in the uk

The Lido List

This list has been collated from many sources and, even at over 500 pools, I am still finding new ones.

Some pools may turn out to be covered so will be removed as and when research confirms. Holiday camp pools, members clubs and school pools are generally not included unless there is something of specific interest or merit.

At 10th July 2025, the database has documented the following

  • Man made lidos 115 / 466
  • Man made tidal pools 9 / 42
  • Tidal pools (unclassified) and rivers 0 / 20
  • Natural rivers and lakes 0 / 11
