Tooting Bec Lido is the United Kingdom’s largest freshwater swimming pool, spanning a surface distance of 100 by 33 yards. The open-air swimming pool was originally opened to the public in 1906 as Tooting Bathing-Lake, offering segregated bathing sections for men and women until 1931. Though it nearly closed in the early 1990s, it was saved due to campaigning efforts by the South London Swimming Club, who use it as their exclusive home club throughout the winter months. It received international attention for its use in the feature film Snatch as the site of Brad Pitt’s character’s boxing pool scene.
