Ruislip Lido

Ruislip Lido, a 60-acre lake with sandy beaches and a narrow gauge railway around it, is set on the edge of Ruislip Woods.

Led Walk: Ruislip Lido and Woods

Please note:

  • the beach at Ruislip Lido is open, but swimming is not permitted. This is because:
    • the shock of cold water can make swimming and getting out of the water difficult
    • the depth of the water changes and is unpredictable
    • underwater objects and hazards may not be visible
    • swimmer's itch can be caused by an allergic reaction to certain microscopic parasites living in the water.
  • toilets are available off Willow Lawn Car Park between 10am and 6pm

Woodlands Centre

The Woodlands Centre at Ruislip Lido offers lots of wood-themed activities.
