Outdoor pool in London

“Finchley Lido Leisure Centre is an excellent place for fitness, relaxation, and family fun. The facilities are always clean and well looked after, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and professional. The swimming pool is spacious, with warm water and plenty of lanes, making it great for both casual swimmers and regular training. The gym offers a wide range of modern equipment, and the atmosphere is welcoming for all fitness levels. I also love the family-friendly areas, which make it easy to enjoy a day out with children. Overall, a fantastic centre that offers great value and a consistently positive experience.”

“A place where you can spend a great time with your young ones. This facility offers a lot of activities for both adult and children which includes swimming training or just a quick dip into the pool with your babies. The pool is also accessible for individuals with special educational needs which is really amazing. The huge slide inside is also worth to try. Just do not forget to bring a coin to access the lockers; you can get your coin back before you leave. Baggy park, vending machine and cafe are also available inside. You might not be able to bring phones or camera to take photo inside.”

“The female instructor there Eliza is probably the best one out there! She instructs so calmly and in a great way! 5 stars for her and its a good gym id recommend people to go!”

“If you want to have a really nice and relaxing massage given by a very experienced therapist. I definitely recommend you Shifa therapy. She does an excellent job. Moreover I had a frozen shoulder and pinched nerve issue and was supposed to go under second surgery in a year. But two sessions of physio therapy with shifa saved me from surgery. Feeling much better . I strongly recommend you to visit shifa therapy.”

“My son has always had great fun in swimming lessons there, the teaching staff are really good. I get to do a few lengths at the same time.”

“Lovely swim. Pool is a great temperature for swimming. Showers are a little hot but that's probably just me.”

“very helpful tour given by Brad today, the gym looks great i was really impressed by their reformer studio, the cardio machines are amazing too giving you POV while you work out, facilities has definitely improved. The price is definitely worth it compared to what local gyms in the area offer.”

“I love my regular swims here with my husband. If you pick swim times carefully never seems overly busy. Sunday one to avoid! Cleanliness ok rather than brilliant but staff try hard. Ladies changing room cold in winter.”

“Rachel is an amazing swim teacher. I’m older and have knee problems, so I was nervous about starting lessons. From day one, she made me feel comfortable and safe in the water. She adjusted every exercise to fit what I could do. She focused on gentle movement and steady progress. She never rushed me but always encouraged me to keep going. Now I move more easily and feel stronger after every session. Rachel’s patience and support have made a huge difference in my confidence and mobility.”

“Swallows Leisure Centre has everything I need – a clean, well-equipped gym, a good variety of classes, and a pool that’s perfect for both fitness and relaxing swims. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A solid choice for keeping active.”

“I had a horrible accident and needed a pool to use after. I had never been before, having been a member of a private gym - and was extremely nervous. They were so friendly and kind. I still go. Lovely big pool. Friendly staff. Cleaner than most public pools that have the same use. Highly recommend it.”

“I attended the BETTER Classes, lead by Jackie who is a friendly approachable instructor. Also has years of experience so can guide you as needed. After a health issue I was losing confidence, but enjoyed the class and regained confidence in myself and what I can do to improve my health and lifestyle. Also others in the group were friendly, non judgmental, and fun.”

“Had my son's 5th birthday party here last weekend and had a ball. Our host Gemma looked after us perfectly and made sure we had everything we needed. The community room and kitchen was clean and tidy - it was perfect for serving food, playing party games and came with soft play items. The surprise highlight was the bouncy castle (more like bouncy obstacle course) upstairs in the sports hall. It was mega and the kids (and some adults) loved it! Highly recommended as a venue for kids birthday parties.”

“I’ve had a great experience at Botwell Green Sports and Leisure Centre thanks to Calum. He’s always friendly, professional, and goes out of his way to help everyone who comes in. Whether it’s answering questions, keeping the facilities running smoothly, or offering assistance with the gym equipment, Calum is always approachable and reliable. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing a positive experience for visitors. His positive attitude and attention to detail make a real difference — the centre always feels well-managed and welcoming when he’s on shift. Overall, Calum is a real asset to Botwell Green Sports and Leisure Centre. Highly recommend his service and the great atmosphere he helps create!”

“The Best place to work out, with plenty of options and well sized pools. The price is really good for that variety. I love it.”

“Love the pool, nice and warm water, clean saunas and lovely reception staff! Free parking outside, coming in the evening after 8 never had any issues finding a spot, register your number plate at the reception upon arrival!”

“I think this shop has been open since before I was born. Used to come here a lot as a kid, so glad to see it reopen post-lockdown. I come here to get all my games and consoles, staff are quite friendly and knowledgable and seem like the kind of people you can have a good chat with.”

“Great big thank you the team at the centre, in particular the manager (whos name I've forgotten, sorry). We requested at very short notice to hire the fitness studio for a last minute rehearsal. The manager was very nice to deal with, and went the extra mile to accomodate our requests. Even allowed us to use the bigger gym space when we realised our numbers were so many that the studio space was too small. Fantastic experience. Thank you again”

“Very quick 10 min back massage, as we were late, but it was very efficient! Jemma and Gina were amazing! Also I found the Spa Day deal very good. Lunch would give you an option of a dish and a small bottle of Prosecco, also access to the Spa was very good! We enjoyed it everything!”

“I really love this leisure centre. I tried multiple gyms but I finally ended up here , because of the ambience and of course the range of gym equipment. The instructors are lovely, Rita has really been very helpful and always has a beautiful smile and positive energy .”
