London Fields Lido (London)


Excellent 50m outdoor swimming pool, recently restored by Hackney Council TWO YEARS LATE. Originally closed in the eighties because the council wouldn't spend £20k to fix the pump. Cost £10 million to restore.

(I'll edit this tag again, adding more info, address, category, polygon, etc., on later)
