The 30 Best Pool parties in London

“Tony provided the disco at our wedding last weekend. Unfortunately our original DJ was ill but luckily I found Tony and he was able to step in. From the moment I spoke to Tony on the phone I felt reassured and confident that he knew what he was doing. He was professional,asked lots of questions, some I hadn’t even considered and nothing was too much trouble. He kept in regular contact leading up to the event too. On the day he helped to keep everything running smoothly, checking in with the photographer, caterers and us. And most importantly the dance floor was full for the whole evening. He played a great selection and all our guests were complimenting him. I have no reservations in recommending Tony. He was amazing and helped make our day perfect.”

“I had an amazing experience at the salon. My hairs were done professionally and suggestions were made to make the cut suits me best. I absolutely love the results. Everyone is nice and respectful. I also did my nails and love the fact that the products don't break the nails as it used to with previous extensions I made somewhere else. Overall it is a perfect for me. I truly recommend this salon for anyone looking for a new hair style, beautiful nails and a great relaxing and pleasant experience. I will go back for sure!”

“Great family friendly atmosphere and we really enjoyed the experience love the football pitch Great fun! The zip line bit expensive 3 host for £12 if you have several kids but nevertheless kids had a wonderful time. Would love to see a more baby friendly area from the soft play with accessibility for people with disabilities. The food and drink where great quality we enjoyed the mac and cheese bites and chicken tenders yum yum!”

“Great big pool with warmish water atm. Had fantastic time with the kids. Not too busy.”

“Attended a child's birthday party event here. Was thoroughly impressed with the swimming pool, good size, clean, warm temperature, lots of floats and things for the kids to play with, excellent safety and a nice little room on the side where they cut the cake and had a little party. Overall really impressed. Oh and the grounds for the school are lovely too! Easy parking available as well.”

“Fantastic local pub that understands its modern clients and loyal Newham past. Love the traditional East End decor that feels home to proper geezers and modern students alike. The dartboard, mix of retro furniture, mosaic & wooden flooring is somewhere I'm definitely coming back too. My darts are accurately inaccurate. The warmth of this part of earthy London is still alive. The fact it sells rich home-made mulled wine next to Guiness, inch's cider and Pravha says a lot. Events space on offer too.”

“Went for a walk with my dog late afternoon and the park is looking outstanding. Definitely one of the best parts of the town. It’s just a credit to the town”

“Really good, with council paid surveillance!”

“Great area for kids of all ages. Quite expensive if you have a couple of children. It's pay by the hour. Big inflatable bouncy with ball pits. Children seem to like it. Disabled entrance and suitable for wheelchair buggies. Cafe on site serving tea, coffees, and chicken nuggets, chips, etc. Disabled access to toilets. Parking is free and easy with lots of spaces.”

“Best swimming pool company ever experienced.”

“The team at Pure Blue Pools are professional, helpful and friendly. They have recently refurbished the filtration system on the pool and fully explained the work required, completing it quickly and efficiently. I thoroughly recommend them.”

“Ah! What can I say! Forrest Hill Pools, is definitely my A1 in the Better Gym branches. A breathe of fresh air! Not only are the staff lovely, but the gym itself is alway spotless! Cleaners regularly cleaning and keeping the place hygienic, customers respecting the facilities by also keeping it clean and putting equipment away. Classes are always great! Darren is a fantastic trainer, always attentive of everyone in the group and always encourages you. Caroline who is on reception always has a wonderful smile on her face when you enter and greets you warmly, just a great start to your day especially if you’re like me who will wake up at 5am get washed and dressed and drive 30-40 mins to get here, you’re drained as it is, then you step in and are welcomed by lovely staff! It’s worth your travels! I haven’t been to this branch in a while, not fault of there own just circumstantial, but I will be returning shortly as they are thus far my favourite!!! Other than going to the gym and classes I haven’t used the pool, so I can’t comment on it, but will soon. They do junior gym which is great too, my son gets to come along with me at times before our home school hours which he enjoys. I also enjoy the virtual spin class. My only wish is that there was parking facilities but unfortunately there isn’t any but one disabled parking bay. Other than this there is nothing I can say against this Better branch. Well done to all the staff in this branch for keeping up good standards that is expect from your customers. Thank you because it makes the experience a good one.”

“What can I say its original 1930s style..no changing rooms,no lockers or private showers..pool side changing small shallow pool. Very murky with bad taste water..but staff and customers very friendly. Pool side showers were good Love it ..it's unique!!!@@@”

“Great place to visit Pool nice and clean Perfect place to take your kids”

“I go to Pool Street Cafe regularly, the coffee is always amazing, the staff are always friendly and positive, especially the lovely Portuguese lady who usually serves me”

“A1Pro and Alfie were fantastic for our recent wedding. Easy to deal with, straightforward pricing and good communication meant I knew I was in good hands. Faultless in every aspect. We hired a full PA system with lighting kit. Thank you!”

“Claire is an excellent swim teacher and our son has shown consistent improvement in confidence, attentiveness and ability over the last 8 weeks. She always lets children take the lead on their own development. She makes the basics fun and engaging and is also caring and accepting on those “off days” that 2/3/4 year olds have. Thank you Claire and Angel Swim for a fantastic experience thus far!”

“We spent a Friday evening here starting with axe throwing before going onto pool and then shuffle board. All of the staff were really friendly but one person in particular stood out - James. He is exceptional and helped ensure we had a really good time. He brings a lot of energy to the role and nothing was too much trouble. I think James in particular deserves some company recognition as he's an asset to the team. Great night and I highly recommend.”

“I took my two kids, ages 8 and 12, to today's show in Southampton, Mayflower Park. We all enjoyed it very much.”

“I can’t thank you enough! My little son had his 4th birthday with Bertie and Boo yesterday and it was just wonderful! So stress free, the staff is very attentive and takes care of everything! Children loved all the activities and the magic show was a great hit! All the staff is clearly enjoying their job, they were wonderful with the kids. Birthday Boy felt very special. We will probably come back next year for another one as it just can’t get better!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the swimming lessons our child has received at Surrey Swim School. Our child has been attending for several years now, and the progress has been remarkable. Before joining Surrey Swim School, she attended several other schools, but none of them were consistent in terms of coaches, class sizes, teaching style, and progression. Since moving to Surrey Swim School, the improvement has been consistent and impressive. The class sizes are always kept small, never more than 5 pupils, which ensures that each child gets the attention they need. The continuous assessment and movement up the grades have kept our child motivated and excited about swimming. Joe and his team do a fantastic job. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for the children's progress are evident in every lesson. We truly love going swimming every week and seeing our child's confidence and skills grow. Thank you, Surrey Swim School, for providing such an excellent environment for our child to thrive in!”

“Found this lovely park while waiting for my friend. It’s a lovely place to sit down and relax.”

“I’ve been coming to giggles for 5 years now since my oldest started crawling. I’m there once a week with my younger two and it’s just amazing. Great space, safe with great food. The ladies are super friendly and helpful and it’s just a pleasure to be there :)”

“We had a lovely time here for a 5 year old birthday party. We liked that there were separate areas for under-3s and under-2s so that they could play safely. The staff were very friendly and joined in the birthday celebrations.”

“We went to Hobbledown to visit Santa in his Grotto. The place looked magical! And the immersive experience was above and beyond. Nowhere else have we experienced anything like it, usually it is just Santa and that's it. Here we experienced almost an hour long journey through Santa village, meet him and go to Elf shop to choose final gift :) And to be able to pick your own present is just mazing. Happy children guaranteed! Honestly one our very favorite places! Kids already asking to go back again!”

“Lovely place with a great atmosphere, and especially ideal for kids to be able to experience and appreciate the 'drinking world' in a sensible, safe and friendly environment. I'm not a member but the staff have still always been really kind and good to me. Thanks for a great evening.”

“Have been coming to Diggerland for years and it just gets better. We visited during school holidays but the queues were short. There are a range of digger based rides and attractions, along with a licenced restaurant serving a good range of food and drink. Always enjoy coming here and the kids love it.”

“This place is a an oasis in a desert. Great food atmosphere and service. The prices are hard to beat with the quality of the experience. I'm glad I found this place and will be back for more.”

“Tucked away in a charming corner of London, The Grove Pub is the kind of place you hope to stumble upon—and once you do, it quickly becomes a favorite. Stepping inside feels like a step back in time, thanks to its beautifully preserved Victorian atmosphere. The rich hardwood interiors, cozy nooks, and period details create a warm, inviting space that’s perfect for everything from a casual pint to a hearty Sunday roast. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a relaxed, neighborhood vibe from the moment you walk in. They’re attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely seem to enjoy chatting with guests—whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. The food and drinks are top-notch, offering pub classics and even vegetarian options. Whether you’re after a perfectly pulled pint, a seasonal cocktail, or a comforting plate of fish and chips, The Grove delivers. One of the best surprises? It’s dog-friendly—and not just in name. They go above and beyond for their four-legged visitors, with dog treats at the ready. If you’re looking for a pub with charm, character, great service, and even better company (both human and canine), The Grove is an absolute must-visit.”
