}}Hampton Pool, High Street, Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, is a heated open air pool or lido which unusually is open 365 days of the year. It is currently managed by YMCA St Paul’s Group [1]

Description

The pool, which has two slides, is 36 x 14 metres. There is also a small pool (12 x 7 metres) for children.

Other facilities include a gym, fitness-studio and cafeteria.

It is operated by the Hampton Pool Trust, a registered charity (number 294117)[2] and not for profit company (number 01870925).[3] It has been managed by YMCA London South West on behalf of the Trust since 2007.[4][5] The Trust's fund-raising activities also include summer open-air concerts.[6]

History

The lido was built in 1922 after plans approved in 1914 were delayed due to the outbreak of the First World War.

In 1939 a diving pit and filtration system was added and in 1961 further improvements included widening the pool, and adding a new building and a car park.

By 1980 Richmond Council decided to close the lido for financial reasons. After local community campaigning, in which over £60,000 was raised, the pool was reopened in 1985. The management of the pool was transferred to Hampton Pool Ltd, a company created by the campaign group.[7][8]

I couldn't have picked a better time to visit, for it is 80 years to the day that the pool first opened. The lido still looks in pretty good shape. The 36m pool is heated, open all year round and caters for families as well as serious swimmers.}}
