What a day for it ☀️ 28° in Reading and our ice bucket’s working overtime.Cool off, dip in, chill out – there’s no better place to be.The coolest spot in Berkshire, literally 💦 #thameslido

The weather lately has been unreal - and while the Lido is magical in any season (yes, even in the pouring rain or with steam rising on a frosty winter’s morning), there’s something about right now that just hits different ☀️ The sun’s out, the plane trees are unfurling their fresh green leaves, and the colours of the Lido are glowing brighter than ever. Dipping into water as the air heats up around you? It’s pure joy.We’re feeling so grateful to see so many of your smiling faces around the pool, in the restaurant. Whether you’re stopping by for a cocktail, a long lunch, or finally booking that massage you’ve been putting off - now is the time! Tomorrow is the 1st of May. A new month, a new season. Got any intentions? We’d love to be part of whatever you’re stepping into 🏊‍♀️ #thameslido

Then & now at @thameslido 📍 These first images? They’re from 2012.A derelict shell of what once was — crumbling walls, pond-green water, smashed windows, overgrown with ivy and time.But if you look closely, you can still see the bones. The promise. The soul of the old Kings Meadow Baths, once a bustling Edwardian lido that opened in 1902, left abandoned for nearly 40 years.What followed was a painstaking renovation. A true labour of love. Years of careful restoration, craft, and vision - to breathe new life into this incredible space.Today, Thames Lido stands proud once again: a sanctuary for swimming, relaxing, and dining - a celebration of restoration, community and care.It’s quite something, isn’t it?#thameslido

The whole point? To slow down. To soak it all in

The whole point? To slow down.To soak it all in.To take time for yourself - fully, intentionally, unapologetically.The swim. The steam. The food. The quiet moments in between.That’s the whole point, right?#thameslido
