Sussex and Surrey lidos among the most popular in the UK

The UK is full of dreamy lidos, and with spring finally making an appearance, there’s no better excuse to grab your swimsuit.

Whether you’re in it for the laps or just after a sunny spot to lounge poolside, outdoor swims are officially back on the agenda.

But which outdoor pools are the most popular across the country?

With temperatures rising, the team at Betway Casino has analysed social data from Instagram alongside Google search volume to reveal the world's most popular lidos in the UK.

Open year-round, Brockwell Lido has been crowned the UK’s most popular lido.

Situated in South London, it’s been welcoming swimmers since 1937 and has since become a full-service fitness destination, featuring a gym, exercise classes, and a yoga studio.

It’s been tagged 15,300 times on Instagram and searched over 397,000 times annually.

In second place is London Fields Lido, located in Hackney. This 50-metre Olympic-sized, heated outdoor pool is also open throughout the year.

It holds the title of the UK’s most searched-for lido, with 486,000 annual searches, and has 6,503 Instagram tags under #londonfieldslido.

Rounding out the top three is Tooting Bec Lido, also in London. Known as the largest freshwater lido in the UK, it has been in operation since 1906.

Open all year, it attracts over 397,000 annual searches and has 8,622 Instagram tags.
