BLU and Brockwell Lido

The Lido is one of London's few remaining outdoor pools offering open air swimming and sun bathing to the people of Brixton, Herne Hill, Norwood and Tulse Hill, plus many from further a field, through the summer months. The Lido buildings, located within Brockwell Park, provide a peaceful environment for yoga, meditation, tai chi and pre-school children's activities all year round. Such facilities are not available elsewhere in south London.

BLU has worked with Lambeth Council and other local interest groups to represent Lido users as the council changes the way it manages the Lido. Lambeth has appointed Fusion as a long term partner to develop the Lido, which has now been given Grade II Listed Building status.

BLU is active in ensuring user interests are represented in the transition period to new management. We have received undertakings from Fusion to a high level of consultation as they develop the Lido.

You can help us and stay informed by joining BLU. Complete and return the membership application form and send it and send it with a donation (if you can afford it) to the address given. You may also apply for membership by e-mail to memberships@brockwelllido.com
