I’m currently trying to talk myself into regular excersise, I haven’t done any since I was 18 and the beer consumption is starting to show. I think swimming is the way forward and alfresco is alot more pleasant, so living in Hackney, London Fields Lido is the place but what to do when it closes over the winter? indoor public pools are usually so rank. The newly re-opened Marshall street baths (yes I read the Metro too) in the middle of soho looks to be the answer, originally opened in 1931 and closed in 1997 for health and safety reasons, Westminster council have spent a few million quid refurbing them for the public and as you can see they look bloody great. What a great setting to swim in.
