I love swimming and I love being outside. London is great if your into both these things. I swim at London Fields Lido which is heated all year round.

If your brave you can also go for the unheated option of the Serpentine or Hampstead Ponds.

Full of fine books, nice owner and his beautiful mellow dog. If you like digging for books on most subjects you can strike lucky here.
