The Serpentine Lido and its accompanying paddling pool are great for both adults and children.
It is open on weekends throughout May (including the May Day Bank Holiday) and seven days a week from 1 June to early September.
Alongside the Serpentine Lido is the Lido Cafe Bar which has waterside tables and is the ideal place to enjoy a snack, meal or a glass of wine.
The Serpentine Swimming Club is the oldest swimming club in Britain. They swim every day in the Lido area between 6:00 am and 9:30 am and also during the famous race on Christmas day.
Opening times
The Serpentine Lido is open from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm (last entry 5:30pm) every day in June, July and August.
During May it is only open on weekends and Bank Holidays.
The Serpentine Lido closes on the first weekend in September, but may open at weekends in September only if the weather is good. Due to the British weather these openings can be closed at short notice, so visitors are advised to check before travelling.
