A GORGEOUS lido with sweeping city views is returning to the UK – and it’s completely free to visit.
The open-water lido will be open for a three-week period this summer.
Lidos are the ideal spot to cool off this summer, but for most Londoners finding a free swimming spot in the capital can be difficult to come by.
For city dwellers looking to escape the scorching temperatures without breaking the bank, the return of a popular water space has got you covered.
Found in the heart of East London, the Summer Splash event is returning for a brief time this summer – and it doesn’t cost a penny.
Located at the Royal Victoria Dock, the free open water lido will be open to visitors this July.
But for those looking to enjoy the outdoor pool, you’ll want to act fast as it will only be open for three weeks.
Surrounded by sweeping city views, the seasonal swimming area will be open daily between Friday, July 24, and Sunday, August 16.
The safe water space features lifeguard-supervised swimming alongside sandpits, deckchairs and sun-safe areas.
As part of Summer Splash, visitors can also expect a programme of family activities and lane swimming.
The free open water lido is part of the At The Docks summer season of events.
Other events include the London T100 Triathlon, the immersive House of Dreamers exhibition and a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream
