caption_attribution_description: English: Entrance of Tooting Bec Lido, London.
context_page_description: Tooting Bec Lido is an open-air fresh water swimming pool in South London. It is the largest fresh water swimming pool by surface area in the United Kingdom, being 100 yards long and 33 yards wide.
  The Lido is on Tooting Bec Common between Tooting and Streatham. An original condition of construction was that it should be concealed from views across the common by a surrounding earth ramp. This ramp is now largely covered with bird-filled trees, except where it is breached by the new entrance.
  The alternating bright red, yellow, and green doors of the changing cubicles seen above the turquoise water make the Lido a popular location for advertisement "shoots" and other filming. Brad Pitt's boxing "pool" scene in Snatch was filmed at the Lido.
  The Lido is operated and maintained by the London Borough of Wandsworth.
context_section_description: The Lido is open to the general public from late May to the end of September each year. Tooting Bec Lido is home to the South London Swimming Club (SLSC) who have exclusive use of the Lido during the winter months, when the pool is open between 7am and 2pm. Members of SLSC can gain free entry when the pool is open to the public in summer. Adult SLSC membership is currently (2018) priced at £28 plus £110 for an annual lido pass.
