Pay for a Poem

See our Pay for a Poem leaflet for details of how you can help put Brockwell Lido Birthday Poems on the page.

2007 was the 70th anniversary of Brockwell Lido. As part of the birthday celebrations we spent two summer weekends getting children to write poems by the pool and in the park on the topic of water, providing them also with drawing materials. Result: 120 great poems and a lot of fine drawings, which we now hope to publish with your help.


Refurbishment of the south side of the Lido is now complete and the Lido is open offering improved 'dry side' facilities, including improved studio space, gym, hydrotherapy, changing rooms and showers. See Fusion website for details of new facilities.

Yoga, meditation, Tai Chi and Whippersnappers activities all continue in the refurbished building. See our timetable page for times of activities. The new showers and changing facilities are available to everyone attending classes.

For more information about children's workshops and birthday parties call at the Whippersnappers reception or phone 020 7738 6633. If you have enquiries about other activities, use the approriate phone number from the timetable.

BLU annual membership donations can now be made via our standing order form.

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
