Finchley Lido Leisure Centre

"Beautiful swimming pool and the gym. Not very crowded and fairly clean, except after swimming lessons. Good value. Most of the staff are lovely, polite and helpful, but there are one or too that are extremely unprofessional who think it is ok to shout at customers and their colleagues. Shocking really. I haven’t made my mind up whether to continue with membership or to cancel it. No one pays to be shouted by aggressive staff. I sent an email to the manager, let’s see how they handle this case…"

"My daughter and I went swimming here in October half term, it was not busy and there is free parking. It was simple to get in, we wanted to use the 'lane' pool however we were not allowed because you have to be older and prove that you can swim (we wanted to practice). So we had to use the smaller pool. This was not to much of a problem, it was good fun, but could not practice much. They do have a wave machine that was really good. Overall the place was clean and staff were good."

"Took my 17 month here for swimming. Love that there is separate pool for children. And the lifeguards were kind and told us when the waves were starting so we could move to the shallow bit. Only downfall is rust on floor and some of the railings. The toilets are bit to far for my liking from baby changing room. Other then that staff friendly enough."

"The booking service is very easy to use and have never had an issue with it. The pool and shower temperature needs to be sorted out. Our 2 year old spent the whole session shivering due to the temperature of the pool. We thought a shower would warm her up but it was just as cold. Lifeguards were good and staff were helpful but the facilities around the pool and changing areas need to be addressed"

"Sunday afternoon, blissfully quiet! Excellent equipment, all brand new. The whole gym floor was clean and there was a visible, active gym instructor. There is limited floor space for stretching and I thought the toilets not being in a separate area in the changing room was a bit odd. Pool looked clean and inviting. I'm a member so I didn't interact with reception as I just scanned myself in, which was easy enough."
