A Relaxing Escape at Thames Lido

Location: Napier Road, King’s Meadow, Reading RG1 8FR, United Kingdom I spent a calm afternoon at Thames Lido, just a short walk from Reading town centre. This restored Edwardian bathhouse has been transformed into a peaceful retreat, with a heated outdoor pool, spa, and stylish restaurant. I booked a swim and lunch package, which turned out to be the perfect combination. The pool is surrounded by old red-brick walls, giving it a secluded, Mediterranean feel. After a dip, I enjoyed a light meal in their glass-fronted dining area, where the sun poured in and everything felt unrushed. It’s a great spot to slow down and treat yourself, especially if you want something a little different in Reading.
