De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Tooting Bec Lido is a well maintained public pool in central London. It has basic facilities with change boxes, toilets, lawned area and a cafe. The pool offers a brisk swimming experience most of the year round but the water can be pleasant in the middle of summer. A wetsuit is advised in the colder months. It great to see people of all ages and abilities swimming in this pool.

Been a few times and although the pool and area is a bit run down it’s a good place to visit. Just be prepared for the rudest staff going at the little cafe on site. The woman who is often at the tills taking the orders has a terrible attitude and should not be working facing customers.

I brought my daughter for a swim; she was turned away at the door because we hadn't booked in advance. Told this was introduced 'because of COVID'. The website of the corporate leisure company that now owns the place doesn't make it immediately obvious that you need to book ahead and will be denied entry if you haven't, but when you go back and try to book, you find that you have to set up an account and download an app, just to go for one swim. Why the needless bureaucracy? Why not let people pay at the door, if the pool is not full?

It is quite complicated to book a swim at this pool as it is now run by one of those corporate leisure centres and you have to create a user name and password just to book one swim. Because of COVID restrictions you can only swim widths which is a bit dull, so it is just like swimming in any other outdoor pool. The whole place is quite tired and run down. The lockers for valuables are rusty and a lot of them don't work, bring your own padlock. The pool was a nice temperature as it is not heated. I agree with other comments that the water is not very clean and quite dirty with debris. The cafe isn't great, a burger and chips sort of place with horrible coffee. It is a shame as this could be a really lovely pool if it is was manged property and some money spent on tidying it up. I wouldn't rush back.

Freezing - like, really freezing cold water. The pool was full of leaves and debris and was just generally quite dirty and unpleasant. The changing rooms were also really dirty and it was very expensive for what it is. Wouldn't return.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. However, for the price you pay you feel short changed, having only 45min sessions and the lido is only open for a limited time. Compared to Hamptead ponds where it's cheaper and open for longer with 60min sessions. Also, rhere's a lot of floating debris from the surround trees that does not seem to get taken away regularly.

A great escape to get away from the city heat of London. However, super busy as soon as there is a ray of sunshine. Queues for food are always lengthy, take in your own picnic!

A group of friends had decided to go to the lido and went straight to the cafe first. It was quite a busy day, so they were very busy in the cafe. We got there around 11 and on their board it said they served breakfast until 11.30 so when we got to the front we asked for some food from the breakfast menu. The man who was serving us immediately responded quite briskly to us saying “we aren’t serving breakfast” so I responded saying “but I thought you served it until 11.30” to which he then became agitated and said “well we don’t have any breakfast food left”. We then asked for something else, he then said “we don’t have that either” so my boyfriend then asked “well what do you have?” The man at the till then responded with the two sandwiches they had left, so I said could I have that please, and my boyfriend asked for the other one.
This is when the man at the till became rude, and looked at my boyfriend and sarcastically said “please” to which I said “come on now, let’s not do this” he then proceeded to say “that’s it I’m not serving you” he then said that he would serve me but not my boyfriend so my boyfriend said “alright fine” and walked away. I was beginning to feel very embarrassed by this point, and then proceeded to ask for both the sandwiches which I was paying for and the man then said “no you can only have the one that you want, you can’t have the other one because I know you are going to give it to him and I’m not serving him” I was then becoming very upset and said “please, I’m paying for it so it doesn’t matter” and the man refused again. At this point I felt so embarrassed and upset by the situation that I started crying because he was so hostile and rude, as this was happened the man then said loudly enough for everyone around me to hear “don’t make me feel bad by crying, it’s his fault that this has happened” so I had to walk out of the cafe as I couldn’t stand there anymore as he continued to reduced me to tears.
Three people subsequently came up to our group after this and said how disrespectful and disgusting the mans behaviour was, I also had one of the other servers apologise to me for his behaviour as she handed me the food I had payed for.
I went and spoke to the manager of the lido who subsequently went and spoke to the man who was at the till, who defended his attitude by saying that my boyfriend was rude and so his reaction was justified.
All in all, this experience completely ruined my time there, and I will not be spending any more money at the cafe.

Tooting Bec is the granddaddy of London lidos. According to Wikipedia It is the largest freshwater swimming pool (by surface area) in the UK and is 91.44 m long and 30.18 m wide. It is quite hard to find! I took the Northern Line south from London Bridge and got off at Tooting Bec. I then took the 249 or 319 bus which runs every ten minutes or so a few stops south to the Lido entrance. The place is deliberately well hidden, but it has clear signposts. Adult entrance is £7.70 (£4.60 after 6pm) - quite expensive - although people aged over 65 get a £3 reduction. Today (on July 8th) the temperature was 21 degrees Celsius. That's quite cool if you are used to heated pools around 26 degrees Celsius. But it's great for us committed open water swimmers! There are segregated changing rooms with hot showers and also brightly painted changing cubicles if you'd like to change the old-fashioned way! At the shallow end is a shallow children's swimming pool, lots of grass for sunbathing, picnic chairs for sitting a really nice cafe selling hot and cold drinks, ice creams and snacks. The place is fabulous, and it is well looked after with a good number of lifeguards! And it's BIG! The long wide pool leaves enough space for everybody. Tooting Bec was the first lido to open in London as Tooting Bec swimming lake! That was back in 1906 and although it closed in 1990, it is now fully open, well maintained and a delight to enjoy. For those, like me, who are 'collecting' all of London's lidos it is a 'must'. Do enjoy a visit yourself!
