London Fields Lido – Wednesday 16th January
A group of 8 people joined our visit to London Fields Lido:
Despite a late start & a slow journey owing to a cancelled train, cold showers at the pool and heavy rain later we all enjoyed the day – the pool was warm, steamy, & uncrowded.
Following our swim we enjoyed a late lunch together at the excellent El Ganso Tapas bar in Broadway Market then walked to Liverpool Street Station for the train back to Cambridge.
We are thinking of making these trips a monthly out of season event.
Are there any views on where we should visit next?
Please leave a message in the comments.
A group of us are going to swim in the 50 metre outdoor heated pool in London Fields next Wednesday 16th January.
We will be taking the 10.04 train from Cambridge to Cheshunt on the Liverpool Street line and then changing to the local train for London Fields.
All welcome meet at the station.
