Part of a leisure complex that once included a cinema, modern fitness centre and two swimming pools, Finchley Lido is the best to place to be if you're after a more relaxed afternoon and want to escape the summer heat. The poolside terraces make an inviting spot to lay down your towel, lie flat out and soak up some glorious sunshine. The original 1930s outdoor pool which sadly no longer exists was enclosed by an elegant colonnade of Roman Doric columns, with fountains to either side and was used in the 1948 Olympic Games for men's water polo. Today, the outdoor pool is a much smaller affair but still, when the mercury rises, you'll be thankful you made the trip to this little oasis.
