(2393)

Thames Lido is the result of a three-year sympathetic restoration project of a beautiful, historical landmark in Reading: the Edwardian Kings Meadow swimming baths, which first opened in 1902. Tucked away behind a leafy path right by the River Thames, our urban retreat is open to the public all year round. Here you will find a heated pool, hot tub and saunas, as well as massage rooms and an award-

winning restaurant which is featured in the Michelin Guide. Visitors to Thames Lido will discover we’re so much more than a pool. The full Thames Lido experience is pure self-indulgence; the perfect venue to reconnect with friends and family, or enjoy quiet, restorative time alone.

Summer is tasting pretty good right now.

Our scallops are back (and judging by your messages, a lot of you are very happy about it 👀), the salads are vibrant, colourful and full of flavour, and the pool is looking very inviting.

Lunch in the sunshine? Dinner by the pool? Or if you fancy making more of a day of it, our Swim & Eat packages are waiting.

Come for the food, stay for the swim.

Book your table or Swim & Eat via the link in bio.
