Lambeth's useless, appalling phone customer service

Design has nothing to do with cold water in Rec.

Maintenance and replacement of worn out plant is the issues for Rec.

The design of the pool is one of the internal aspects listed by English Heritage as part of the Recs Grade two listing.

It has stood the test of time. A public pool would not be built to this size now for a leisure centre.

It's well lit. With view across Brixton.

Its a terrific place to swim. I actually dont mind the “cold” water (I swam in the parliament hill lido late last month…now that was cold) but I can see that it puts people off. The place overall just needs the maintenance to be done.

I have swum twice at the Rec this week. Other than a little shiver getting in, I think it's actually the perfect temperature. It's not cold. I hate cold but I hate that tepid temperature public pools often are and it's really a reasonable temperature.
