London- Hyde park
 

can you swim there?

You can swim in the serpentine I think – but I wouldn’t, it will be bloody cold even in the summer. Old mad people swim in it in the winter by breaking the ice.

The Oasis in Endell St (in Covent Garden) is out doors and heated.

The Serpentine Lido and Paddling Pool are open to the public seven days a week from the end of June to 8th September each year.

You can also wade in the new Diana Fountain!

Thanks what a great site

I saw the Princess Diana fountain last month and I think it looks like a waterslide. No disrespect intended to the late princess, but I found the fountain a little disappointing.
