Big_G Jun 2021 8:27pm, 12 Jun 2021 945 posts	0 Big_G I just remembered that I went to Weston-Super-Mare's lido back in 2015, but that was for Banksy's Dismaland, the theme park that was unsuitable for children Did anyone go to the lido when it was operational as Tropicana, which from a quick Google closed in 2000?

Big_G Jun 2021 7:36am, 15 Jun 2021 951 posts	0 Big_G Thanks all. It was a great couple of hours there. They were limiting numbers to 100 per 2hr slot, booked in advance, so it was really relaxed with plenty of space. Just standing there at the end of the lido looking out to Mount Batten to the left, glancing over the sea, and seeing Drake’s Island to the right was fantastic. Paddle boarders out and a few swimmers and I could have been anywhere really, and then turning back around to see the lido and Art Deco building was a great place to be.

Groundhog Jun 2021 2:13pm, 17 Jun 2021 2,466 posts	0 Groundhog Linds, I still can't figure out if Hillingdon/Uxbridge Lido is open in the afternoons. It seems not, which is really dumb. I might try and call them sometime, otherwise another trip to Guildford or a lake near you might be on the cards.
