      It has been an amazing few months for London swimmers. With the reopening of the lido in Uxbridge, Marshall Streeet back in business and even Kentish Town pool back in action.

      Now the Londonist is reporting that Forest Hills pool (reputedly one of the oldest pools in London) is going to be redeveloped. http://londonist.com/2010/08/forest_hill_pools_redevelopment_pla.php

      The £10 million redevelopment will see the Victorian baths adjoined by a new brick building with a zinc-clad roof, which will contain a new 25m pool, gym, and cafe.

      It seems like all that hard work campaigners put in a few years back is really paying off.

      Today is the day that after 13 years Marshall Street baths (Soho's swimming pool) finally reopens http://ashleynorris.posterous.com/marshall-street-baths-sohos-iconic-swimming-p . There is however another classic old school London baths that is back in business and that is the Kenitsh Town baths. I used to woork ronf the corner from the baths in the early 90s and can confirm it was a real hole. It was apparently quite a regular occurrence for people to have lockers broken into and their clothes nicked. The revamped pool looks great and probably cost a fraction of what Hackney paid for my local baths Clissold.

      The interior certainly looks very lovely. Maybe Irongmongers Row will get a makeover next.
