1 / 2Oasis Sports Centre
📍 London, Greater London
Rare heated outdoor pool alongside an indoor pool right in central London, within Covent Garden. Opens from early morning daily. Spacious changing rooms with extensive shower facilities and sauna access.
This place is incredible. A hidden gem in the centre of London. The outdoor pool is heated, the changing rooms are huge with plenty of showering facilities, lockers are on a token system. I swam on Sunday morning & was surprised how quiet the pool was. The staff could not have been more helpful. I can't wait to go back when the sun us shining! Travelled from Dorset where I sea swim! Thank you - Fiona
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families visiting central London who want an outdoor swim without leaving the city. The outdoor pool is a genuine rarity in Zone 1. Early morning and Sunday mornings are the quietest times. Families with toddlers benefit from the dedicated lifeguard presence and technique-focused poolside staff.

“Amazing place to go swimming. They have 2 pools, one inside and one outdoor, both heated. Can get pretty crowded after work but if you can go before that it’s super chill. Lifeguards are always on duty and they even give some tips on technique. Definitely recommend their student discount as well”

“Who knew that there was an outdoor swimming pool right in the middle of Covent Garden? Clean, well kept facilities with really lovely changing rooms. The pool opens at 0630am and the sauna at 730am. Perfect for before work.”

“We were visiting and it was very hot in London, so it was great to be able to find a place to swim. It was a little challenging to set up an account sign up to swim as you needed to have a local post Code, but we figured it out. We only use the pool and they changing areas.”
