About Thames Lido

Thames Lido is an outdoor swimming pool and spa, restaurant and bar, and events space in Reading. If you're looking for somewhere unique to host a celebration, get-together or corporate event, this historic site has a wealth of space, facilities and fabulous in-house catering that could be just what you've been searching for. 

Situated just moments from Reading station, the Thames Lido has a convenient and picturesque location, which sits just on the edge of London's famous river. Here, guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming facilities which were originally built at the beginning of the 20th century as a place for female Edwardian bathers to enjoy the water in privacy.

While the pool fell into disrepair for decades, in 2013 its new owners took over and began breathing life back into the Grade II Listed building, turning it into what it is today - a buzzing dining concept, loved by the community. The indoor-outdoor restaurant is stunning, and if you'd like to take over this space for your event, simply chat to the events team and they'll be sure to explain your options. 

Certainly, sipping delicious cocktails looking over the pool is a great way to impress friends, family or clients, but if you were envisioning a function room set up, the team can show you the 100-person capacity private hire space on the first floor, too. 

With large windows and a balcony, the events room is flooded with natural light and also offers interesting views for those visiting. The room can be set up however you need; be that a central table for a meeting or dinner, classroom structure for a presentation or open, flexible space for a drinks and small plates reception. 

Catering is provided by the chefs and there's a range of packages to suit your event. From refreshments and a light lunch for office away days, to three-course dinners courtesy of the venue's Spanish restaurant, there's much to choose from.
