This is a nice place for a visit. Our daughter (nearly 4yo) enjoyed the sandpit but was a bit sad that we'd sold it to her as 'going to the beach' before we'd actually seen what was here. The kids swimming information on the website was confusing. It's run by Love Open Water. You do have to book but for kids and supervising adult it's free. Just register via the website/app. They give you a wristband when you check in. The water was 19 degrees when we visited but felt pretty cold so my daughter decided not to go in after getting waist deep. It ranges from 0.6 - 1.5m deep. It's pebble floor in the pool so bring water shoes if you have them.

Loved the place, kids did too, staff were brilliant!

I go almost every year and and this year it seems a little smaller. They've done away with the infants Pool and and the Pop-Up ice cream stands and the marquee with bean bags. The length of time it will remain open for has shortened to just three weeks. it's still free which I'm truly grateful for. you can't bring inflatables or pool noodles and the green door in the changing room keeps flying open and is insecure. Despite these issues I thoroughly enjoyed it, the staff were generally friendly and helpful. I was in the pool for hours and I would definitely go again, and yes I would still recommend it to friends and family, as it's going to get hotter this week and this is free. It's a fantastic feeling floating on your back, and looking up at the open Sky on a hot day.

Marvellous Place for a Day activities, superb beach and clean water. excellent playing area for

My children absolutely loved the brief time we spent here. What's important to know is children under 8 must be accompanied if they want to use the pool and the ratio is one adult to each child for safety reasons. There is a lifeguard present of course. My children loved the sand pits and the artificial grass was nice to walk on. There was quite a nice atmosphere. They stop admitting people at 5.30pm as they close at 6pm by which time the stewards would have cleared the place. I found the event staff to be helpful polite and friendly.

Can not accommodate single mothers I want here today with my 2 young children and was told I wouldn’t be accepted as it Is one adult to one child what am I suppose To do leave one child at home I am a strong swimmer and lifeguard trained I was truly disappointed luckily kids got to go on cable carts but this has truly ruined this for me and My kids.

This place is only open a few weeks a year and they can't even be bothered to update the opening times. Don't be fooled into coming here. There is nothing here and no beach access is allowed.

A great addition to the area. The Crystal building and the Emirates Airline, along w the cool big grey side of the river dock machine things! The 90s orange-panelled apartments unfortunately overshadow the whole aesthetic and look awful, all they need is painting though- I’d say an industrial grey. Especially with the City Of London offices moving into the area, this needs to be actioned. They were built cheaply and with no aspirational design, but paint goes a longgg way!

Perfect place to do water activities and great fun and relaxation on a hot day I highly recommend comming here

Very rude staff and manger under 8 should have 2 adults . What if your a single mum with 2 children under 8 before they made the lido anyone could go in but now they made the lido .They said one adult can't supervise 2 children .How do they think we manage like this

Nice little area with swimming pool, seating area to enjoy food or have a pic nic, nice day out for the kids.

Totally miserable sad looking patch of gravel definitely not to be called a ‘beach’ 👎

A great day out in an impressive setting, could do with more food available hence the 4 stars but if you bring a picnic the problems solved, throughly enjoyed ourselves 😊

It’s not open yet. They haven’t built the beach but for the kids. Apparently open next week Monday (for 3 weeks)

Beautiful beach for your kids, little bit crowded

Great family trip

Very local to me, a quick beach plan it’s fun for the kids they were busy all day

Great fun for the kids, sand pits and the outdoor pool, plenty of seating and great location

Excellent place to go will definitely visit again 👍

Unfortunately we missed the beach by a week. There was nothing to see or do . We were advised that the beach lasts about 6weeks from July. We were very disappointed. May try again next year. I did however enjoy the ride on the Emirates cable .

Amazing as always. This time 2021 they have smaller sand pits with artificial thick grass and seating tables with sun shades. They have a cordoned off shallow swiminging area. Lots of places to drink and eat. Security and all areas monitored with nice and clean onside toilets.

Place was good, but there is no swimming pool

Beach within walking distance from my home. Nice and clean.

There was no beach but good to visit for a chill out time with the family. Shame the footbridge lift wasn't working so couldn't take my son on it.

Doesn’t feel like london. What a place, a perfect oasis with great vibes, good beer and the wake park is class.

Nice place in inner London too.

Great day out, went as a large group from a community centre. Very friendly staff.

Lovely place, and free. We love it there.

The outdoor pool area has gone it is back to a beach nice if you don't mind the cold water of the Thames 😮

Great place for families day out
