It is the largest fresh water swimming pool by surface area in the United Kingdom, being 100 yards long and 33 yards wide.The Lido is on Tooting Bec Common between Tooting and Streatham.

  • 9. River Lee Navigation London
    The River Lea originates in the Chiltern Hills, England, and flows southeast through east London where it meets the River Thames, the last looping section being known as Bow Creek. It is one of the largest rivers in London and the easternmost major tributary of the Thames. Its valley creates a long chain of marshy ground along its lower length, much of which has been used for gravel and mineral extraction, reservoirs and industry. Much of the river has been canalised to provide a navigable route for boats into eastern Hertfordshire, known as the Lee Navigation. While the lower Lea remains somewhat polluted, its upper stretch and tributaries, classified as chalk streams, are a major source of drinking water for London. A diversion known as the New River, opened in 1613, abstracts clean wate...

  • 11. Clapton Pond London
    Upper Clapton is a district in East London, located in the London Borough of Hackney. Upper Clapton approximates to the northern part of the E5 postal district. The district borders the River Lea to the east and the border with Lower Clapton to the south is marked by the Lea Bridge and Kenninghall Roads. Neither Upper Clapton nor the wider Clapton area have ever been an administrative unit and consequently their extent has never been formally determined. Describing Upper Clapton as northern E5 is useful but also informal and imperfect, for instance a small area of Clapton Common and the immediately adjacent community is excluded from the postal district despite almost always being publicly viewed as being part of Upper Clapton. As is frequently the case with London districts, these boundar...
