Thames Lido is the result of a three-year sympathetic restoration project of a beautiful, historical landmark in Reading: the Edwardian Kings Meadow swimming baths, which first opened in 1902. Tucked away behind a leafy path right by the River Thames, our urban retreat is open to the public all year round. Here you will find a heated pool, hot tub and saunas, as well as massage rooms and an award-

winning restaurant which is featured in the Michelin Guide. Visitors to Thames Lido will discover we’re so much more than a pool. The full Thames Lido experience is pure self-indulgence; the perfect venue to reconnect with friends and family, or enjoy quiet, restorative time alone.

The days are longer, the plates are getting brighter and summer is very much on our minds ☀️

Scallops are back, Isle of Wight tomatoes are shining bright, salads are colourful, vibrant and packed with flavour, and there’s plenty to share around the table. A nutritious yet indulgent feast post-swim? Yes please…

Whether you’re joining us poolside for lunch or settling in for a dinner, the menu is feeling fresh, seasonal and feels just like a summer holiday.

Did you know?

Just a short walk from Thames Lido, across the bridge, sits - home to two Archimedes screw turbines generating renewable electricity from the flow of the Thames 🌊

We use much of that locally generated green electricity here at the Lido, making your swim just that little bit greener!

A pretty cool local fact, we think.

Summer is tasting pretty good right now.

Our scallops are back (and judging by your messages, a lot of you are very happy about it 👀), the salads are vibrant, colourful and full of flavour, and the pool is looking very inviting.

Lunch in the sunshine? Dinner by the pool? Or if you fancy making more of a day of it, our Swim & Eat packages are waiting.

Come for the food, stay for the swim.

Burnt leek tzatziki, onion seeds, Aleppo chilli.

Part of our small plates menu - designed for sharing.
We suggest around three plates per person (depending on how hungry you are), so you can try a bit of everything.

Best enjoyed with friends and a good bottle of wine. What are your plans for the Bank Holiday weekend?
