'Having been banned from pools all over London for health and safety reasons, I can only gaze longingly at the sumptuous array of London pools. London swimmers rejoice!' - Jo Brand
London is a city built on water, and ideal for swimmers. Whether you are looking for an early morning dip on Hampstead Heath, want to join the Christmas Day Club at Hyde Park's Serpentine or are searching for a Lido in Tooting, wherever you are in the Capital, you are rarely more than a paddle away from somewhere to swim.
Swimming London
