Jules-and-Boo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Horrible. Don't go there. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/158975-brockwell-lido/#findComment-1153998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity girl Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I like it. Gets very very busy at weekends when it's hot out. Don't bother with the changing rooms though - they are grim. I always get a spot on the decking. My kids love it - like a mini holiday. The pool isn't heated so be prepared for that. I'll be going on my day off tomorrow!

KikiMac Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I went yesterday - gorgeous and no queue! Bit difficult to tell when you will be queueing round the corner and when not - during the week. If it is a hot weekend, just take for granted you will be queueing, but its lovely when you're in. Lido-style so you're on the concrete if you're not lucky enough to get a space on the decking.

Jules-and-Boo Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 the Lido in Charlton is nice. Water is heated, it's clean too (which is a bonus)I've raised concerns with safety at Brockwell Lido as have other people. There's a forum thread on it.

Sqiggles Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It is lovely - but probably best to avoid the really busy times. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/158975-brockwell-lido/#findComment-1154119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMey Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I was there with my toddler on Tuesday morning and it was lovely! The changing rooms get really gross in the summer which is a shame, but I tend to get changed under a big towel on the decking! It looks like chaos on a sunny weekend. It is a wonderful place to have a lovely long swim if you get a rare hour without the children, outside of the busy periods! It is especially nice (for grown ups) in the spring/autumn when it is much quieter!

cactus Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's lovely, just get there early and leave before it gets too crowded.Only issue I've had is the lack of shade on very hot days, not great for very small children.

Mellors Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Tooting Bec is probably better for younger children - lots more shade/grass/trees and a paddling pool for small children.I love Brockwell for swimming myself though.
