Public pools in London

“HIGHLY recommend this spot to swim. It's tucked away in a picturesque location, with a lovely dock with changing rooms and places to store your belongings. There are three loops of different lengths to choose from - perfect for those who are training to complete a specific distance. The staff are really friendly and helpful - they host different events to help test your skill and have 121 coaching on offer as well. Bright coloured caps and tow floats are required - they do have a supply of some as well. Lovely dining spots nearby for those wanting to make an occasion out of it - including outdoor bars on the water during the summer.”

“We booked the pool for the first time last weekend and had a wonderful experience with our family of three. Although smaller than your regular pools, the pool is clean and big and deep enough for both leisure and exercise. And the water is softer too. Having the whole pool to ourselves in a quiet and private place was a true escape from the chaotic and crowded public family pools. We would love to come back!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Shangri-La London. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. A special thank you to Tyrone, the manager, who was incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail of our visit was perfect. His professionalism and kindness truly elevated our experience. He helped us with upgrading our room making our stay exceptional in Westminster suit. Our suite was stunning…spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean, with the most breathtaking views of London. Waking up above the city felt magical. The atmosphere, the comfort, and the attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend the Shangri-La London for anyone looking for a memorable and top-tier experience. We can’t wait to come back!”

“Small and nice swimming pool, 1-2m. What stands out here is the very kind instructors, small class sizes. Facilities are very clean. I took a beginner scuba lesson here. My child took beginner swimming lessons. I cannot recommend highly enough for ab initio.”

“This was our first time in London, and our stay at Novotel London West was excellent. The location was great and very convenient for both the tube and bus. Rebecca was a lovely host and very welcoming. The room was clean and spacious for the three of us. We had a very comfortable stay and would happily recommend this hotel.”

“I attended the Les Mills Launch last weekend. The energy and enthusiasm of the instructors Tara, Lidiya, Dan and the rest of the crew was amazing. so lucky to have such fantastic instructors and I look forward to continuing on my fitness path with them and trying out some of the new classes. The club has undergone a refurbishment recently and new equipment is being added. Great gym, terrific instructors and really helpful gym and reception staff”

“Nice experience I recommend this place.”

“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.”

“Phoned for some advice - Adam was excellent and super knowledgeable. Really appreciated as I'm new to this. Will be back! Called in to the store - very knowledgeable and helpful advice. They also had all the parts I needed in stock which was great.”

“Great pool can get busy at times and you can never tell when the busy times are unfortunately. Lovely spar with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi fully recommended”

“Really enjoy the fun swim. It's a small quite pool so great for the kids to play and feel secure. There's an hour fun swim sat and sun. Changing rooms are ok and the showers warm.”

“A lovely space for kids of all ages, and a really nice way to spend a few hours on these hot summer days. There’s some natural shade, a water fountain and the nearby cafe has toilets, as well as serving ice cream, food & coffee until 5pm(ish). The pool is really well maintained by volunteers. Hope we can enjoy it for years to come!”

“An absolute lovely pool, the people are incredibly nice, the showers are lovely. Been coming here for 6 years and there is no complaints for this lovely and welcoming group. My only thing is that whenever I try to call the reception to see if they have any family fun sessions, half the time no one answers. But apart from that little thing a really nice place for you or your family.”

“Lovely pool, it is split into a main pool and learner pool so that’s nice for swimmers. Lane and general swim available. My daughter has swimming lessons here and the standard of teaching is high. The kids are pushed enough to be competitive but not so much that it’s negative competition. There are windows down two sides of the pool so when the sun is low you get beautiful dappled light in the water which feels lovely to swim in. One of the most unpretentious swimming pools around! Check it out next time you want a swim!”

“Really friendly staff all around, from in the gym to the receptions to life guards. Facilities have always been clean and car park is usually full when I go, however there are always people coming in and out, I find usually on the hr is when spaces open up, at 11 at 12 at 1 etc.”
