The pool is lovely. But what ever you do do not order any food from the cafe. I ordered a cheese toastie and waited 30 minutes for a toastie whilst the girl stood making bagels to put in the fridge. The 3 girls behind the counter all teenagers with not a clue. So rude no customer service no sorry for the wait. I asked for my money back they refused never again. One girl told me I hadn’t waited half an hour when I had the transaction on my phone and she wasn’t even in the cafe when I ordered vile customer service. Laughed in my face as well absolutely disgraceful. I had ordered 2 bagels also which she had served me 20 minutes before the toastie so just stood there waiting for my child’s sandwich. The pool itself is lovely if defo go again but won’t be eating or buying a drink there

It was my first visit this week. I've been wanting to come for over a year and finally made it and so happy I did. What a gorgeous oasis here in East London. Super friendly staff who work hard to keep everyone safe and feel welcomed. Looking forward to my next visit.

The -2 stars is really just for the lifeguard who was on duty in the tower between 16:30-17 on 12th of Aug, aka hottest day of the year. This guy (or gal) sat there staring out into space while 3 youths jumped into the middle of the fast lap lane, standing there as if it were their own family pool, with no regard for the dozens of people swimming in that lane that they were actively blocking. They proceed to have some chats and hang out there until someone yells at them in the lane to get out (thank God) and then eventually after a few minutes, walks into the next lane over. Whoever was on duty needs to get retrained on what their job entails, which definitely includes telling these kids to get out, especially when it's happening just beside him/her. The pool would also benefit from having some signs that say "do not enter" along the sides, which, while many would consider common sense, apparently isn't when it's a hot day.

The enclosed Lido is a world of its own--water, tilestones, and sky, the same trees as on the Fields, but no suggestion of grass. Many swimmers are regulars; the system works well; there are lanes and a zone for children and families.

London Fields lido is a vibrant and welcoming spot, especially on hot days. This area of the park is popular with families and often bustling with kids, making it a lively and energetic place to visit. The expansive green space is perfect for picnics, games, and letting the little ones run around freely. The park’s layout offers plenty of room to spread out, and the open spaces are ideal for enjoying a sunny day. There are several playgrounds and water features that are especially appealing to children, which adds to the lively atmosphere. While the area can get quite busy, the energy and activity make it a fun and engaging place for families. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the park still provides ample spots to enjoy some downtime. Bring a blanket and some refreshments, and you can find a cozy corner to unwind while soaking up the sun. The well-maintained green areas and facilities make it a pleasant environment for all visitors. Overall, London Fields West Side is a great choice for a sunny day out, particularly if you enjoy a lively atmosphere with plenty of family-friendly activities. It’s a fantastic spot to experience the vibrant community life of East London while enjoying the outdoors.

Nice for a swim but £12 for a sunbathe on the concrete ground with no space isn’t acceptable. Facilities were very dirty and there was a shout off between the receptionist and a customer.

First time here. No mention that I need to bring coins to use the locker. Ended up buying a locker token that I’ll never use again. Emailed me after booking but no barcode in the email so had to spend 4 minutes in line. Disappointing.

Great place and vibe. Clean. Of course super busy when it’s hot. Sometimes they have weird entrance values. Ie when it was busy they let you in without booking. Then later not busy you need a booking. Also they really should do some bands when entering. As you can stay there all day long and others miss out. 3 hrs or something more than enough for example.

I contacted Better Health to cancel my membership due to the inability of using their facilities that are closest to me during the summer. My main interest is in swimming for fitness, but the lido gets overwhelmed with customers looking to enjoy the summer weather. Unfortunately, I was met with utter contempt and indifference by the customer support team, not even giving me the option to suspend my membership until the end of summer, which means I had to pay for a month for nothing... In reply to the reply from the business below: that is absolutely false, I contacted the London Fields Lido team first and was told to contact Better Health. Also, rich thing to suggest when your account literally has a Better Health logo as its profile picture - if you are not directly part of the organization, then you are certainly inducing customers in error.

I made an appointment.. Thinking that was to make sure there was enough space to swim… But no, it was packed over capacity. No room to swim, no lockers left and they had run out of tokens anyway. People just standing in the lanes chatting. Couldn’t swim so that makes sense. It was an absolutely hideous experience.

absolutely ridiculous. the weekend is always fully booked out 1-2 days ahead minimum. i live locally, have kids and never get to use the facility. i recognise there is high demand, but they need a better system. i doubt that all the people who book 3-5 days ahead of time turn up, but then the system just says ‘not available’ for the whole day. It’s so frustrating later Edit: When I called Better they said no ‘walk-ins’, please update them.

A pretty nice 50m outdoor heated pool. Indoor and outdoor changing facilities are available. Lockers work with any pound coin (returnable). Not a huge changing room/showers but did the job and there are plenty outside. You’re not allowed outdoor shoes past the reception area but there are sofas where you can take them off and put them back on. There are hair dryers too if you need them. Lots of lanes in the pool with enough space to overtake others if need be. The shallow end is really very shallow so I often found my arms touching the bottom as I swam which was a little annoying when I was trying to sprint. As with any outdoor pool, it wasn’t 100% clean which was slightly off-putting when I took the odd accidental gulp of water, but I’m still alive! That’s why I’ve knocked a star. Will try and visit again when the weather’s a bit warmer and see how busy it ends up being! — EDIT May 2024: I think I must’ve gone on a windy day where things were blown into the pool. I’ve been back 3 times since then and it has been very clean for an outdoor pool so I’ve added a star! I’ve been in warmer weather and it does get quite busy and some people don’t understand lane etiquette but the life guards sometimes stop people to remind them. Would definitely recommend!

Good fresh water with little chlorine taste, much better to be outside in the fresh air even on a winters day while it’s windy and spitting with rain. Changing rooms are very clean and tidy, but the shower pressure is very low. £1 coin needed for the lockers, you get it back when you open it.

One of my favorite places in London, I swim there twice a week. My only "but", more could be done about ensuring bike safety at their available bike parking space. Today my bicycle has been "ravaged", half of it has been stolen. This seems to be happening very often at their premises. I know this is a difficult one, it's a London epidemic really. A bold idea ... hiring security for the hours when is dark ?

I've swum in pools all over London, both indoors and outdoors, and I have to say that London Fields is right up there with the best. What you've got is a clean, spacious 50m pool with well sized lanes populated by people who really want to swim. Beyond this the changing rooms are clean and spacious. In fact the whole facility feels well looked after. Parking is a bit of a pain but there's plenty of space to park a bike and you can always walk. There's also a hole-in-the-wall cafe providing much needed post-swim refreshment. Quite simply if you enjoy swimming then you'll love London Fields. There's nothing quite like swimming in the open air, with the sun on your back, in water that isn't either freezing cold or full of eels. I just wish that I lived closer.

50m heated outdoor pool, £5.70 for non-member/1 hour session. The pool is 1m at shallow end and stays pretty shallow until 25-35m mark so good for family swimming but a bit difficult if your tumble turn is a bit rubbish like mine 😂. You have to take outdoor shoes off at the entrance so don't forget your flipflops and your £1 for the lockers. Went on a Monday at 11am and was super chill but imagine it's mental at the weekends/when it's a hot day.

Love it here. NIice big pool and a cordoned off bit In the shallow end for the little ones where u can take rubber rings in.. They aren't allowed in the big pool. Has lanes for those who just want to swim and the rest of the pool is for everyone else who go just for fun. The water is ffffreezing 🥶 but u soon get used to it once yr in lol Staff are great.. Really keep an eye on the pool area. If they think u can't swim you won't be aloud in the deeper end until u do a swim test to make sure. It has plenty of space around the pool to set yr bits down while u swim or if u just wanna go there to do a bit of sunbathing. Also has a little cafe there serving hot and cold food, snacks & drinks. In my opinion its a bit expensive but it's very convenient. When the weather is hot the queue can get very very long so bare that in mind as you don't book anymore, just turn up and join the q. Their slots are 3hrs long so you get a decent swim b4 the next lot come in. All in all a good day out if u love swimming 😊

*UPDATED* Cute local outdoors swimming pool. Entry is about £6 and it offers lockers (bring a £1 coin). The swimming pool is very shallow with a maximum depth of 1.8mt, and it’s not too long. There’s a bit of space to leave your towel and sunbathe, toilets, and outdoors showers (no soap). 3 stars because the swimming pool was dirty (I caught a lot of hair in my hands while swimming), and the toilets were awful. Also I couldn’t find the showers, so maybe it would make sense adding more signs.

Like so many we hadn't dined out in a long time and my clever husband suggested to sulky me a mid-week local pick-us-up treat. I can only say wow. We loved Ceres when we last visited in 2019 but the tasting menu tonight with matched wines was out of this world and a steal at the price. Deservedly Michelin-recognised cuisine with such a friendly and professional face (just two young women currently run the whole outfit including single handedly chef-ing and wonderful front of house). Ceres is walking distance for us and we are grateful because it is a destination-grade restaurant. Fine dining for £48pp.

More like Gross Burger. Patty was extremely unlikely to be wagyu, and was more akin to a supermarket or fairground van quality patty. All the flavours were a bit off and the chips were overly oily, yet it still managed to be expensive. Place was empty so obviously others agree that this place is no good. The 4.5 stars review average aare a complete mystery and point to lots of fake reviews. Avoid.

We came to the Muddy Puddle last night to spin a few records, to be honest, but we couldn't bring ourselves to leave. Ben and Phoebe have made the perfect local venue with a very laid-back but positive atmosphere. Between the buzzing bar upstairs, beautiful back garden, and intimate live music area downstairs, there are plenty of comfy corners for conversation/hanging out. The coffee was exquisite, the food looks excellent (we haven't eaten there, YET), but what totally make it stand out is the unique energy and personalities of the owners which permeate the place. If I lived nearby this would be my favourite haunt. Our (totally unsolicited) verdict: 11/10!
