An old favourite. I’ve been a swim member since opening in 2017, going 4 times a week, until 2020. I used to dine often in the restaurant for brunch, tapas, dinner & drinks - most meals. I had many work banquets here too with the tasting menu & copious amounts of Spanish wine. The gin menu is extensive. The slow restaurant service was frustrating at times, but had improved in recent years. The food is delicious, especially the scallops, tapas and home made ice creams. Mains are on the pricier side, but v good quality food. BYO wine Tuesday’s used to be a good value saving. Only bar snacks served between meal times- perhaps catering for day spa packages too much? The swim side were very supportive when I had to suspend my membership for medical reasons, and I haven’t got back into the swing of it due to lack of lounge space post-swim, so sadly I’ve gone to a local competitor instead but I might return soon once restrictions ease up. Massage was ok, but perhaps not as luxurious as others. A must visit from London or for visitors in town. Impressive setting! A fantastic historical restored Victorian lido with a delicious restaurant and swim spa with a Nordic feel. As a keen fast swimmer, busy periods sometimes clashed with leisure swims but on the whole the non-lane system works well. Great Covid safety and booking system, but 40 minute slots were a bit rushed for me - v little wash hair time after a 30 min swim & only a few mins in the outdoor hot tub. A thriving community & open restaurant. I’ll be back after a break! A must visit.

Very nice experience with the Lido and dine package for my friend’s birthday. We did 35 minutes swimming and hot tub (very hot water in the tub was amazing during watching the sky at night), and then 2 courses menu with very fine food. I highly recommend
Thames Lido is a great venue with a difference. We went on the special Swim and Dine package. The pool is heated so that it’s not freezing to get in but refreshing. You can pop into the hot tub and for a real warm up one of two saunas - one hotter than the other. The dinner a la carte was fancy. Well presented. The scallops were awesome.. fresh in the shell! Main course was the sirloin slices. However, was disappointed the chef left a large piece of gristle/sinew on the sirloin (see photograph). The staff are friendly and attentive as geared to ensure guests enjoy a great experience. This venue is not cheap, it’s a premium experience. And it was not overcrowded as a result. The Lido has its own parking for extra convenience. Would I come again? Definitely to celebrate a special occasion.
My partner and I had a fab day at Thames Lido. We were so surprised how gorgeous it was and the value for money was outstanding. The outside facilities are heated to the perfect temperatures. Lunch and drinks options were great. I had a facial and my partner a massage and we were blown away by the service. Everything was very well planned and ran smoothly. Particularly love the body washes, delightful touch. Just remember to take your flip-flops. So happy to have found this little gem and sad we haven't found it sooner! We'll be back
Food only. Spacious table settings, gorgeous decor with a nod to traditional yet modern twist. All menus are delicious, creative and interesting. I always end up trying something new every time I go. Staff are wonderful and add to the experience. Highly recommend.
