So unlike the stereotypes it doesn't actually rain that often in London. But today it did! INB4 some USAmerican asks what a lido is. Who the fuck knows, m8... Some Victorian thing, OK?

Lido means outside pool. The history of the term is interesting. USAmericans and generally the rest of the world just say pool or outside pool. Many lidos are filled with sea water, ones that are near the sea. The Victorians build loads because of their ideas about seawater.

As a cold averse Cypriot, I've never swum in an outside unheated pool. I have swum in an outside pool in the mountains in California but it was neither heated nor a lido.

Pretty warm compared to New York or Boulder. I guess depends on your perspective. My main issue is the lack of sun. The tube is so warm even in winter.

Better than the bus when it's cold tbh.
