100+ Best Paddling Pools in London for Kids (2025) – Splash Pads, Fountains, Lidos & More!

Looking for the best places to cool off in London this summer? You’re in the right place. This ultimate 2025 guide to paddling pools, splash pads, fountains, and lidos in London (and beyond) covers everything you need to plan a fun, refreshing day out with the kids. You’ll find top water play spots not just across Greater London, but also in surrounding areas—and even a few hidden gems a little further afield.

Planning your trip:

  • Use the TfL Go app for real-time public transport planning around London

  • Check Parkopedia to find parking information near each location

  • Google Maps is also a reliable tool for planning your route

Start exploring and make the most of the sunny days ahead.

Please always check before you travel. Especially if it’s a long journey. Sometimes these water play features are closed due to faults or maintenance. Unfortunately, I’m not responsible for wasted journeys.

This year, I’ve decided to organise these spots by location. It might look a little different than you’re used to, but remember, for example, a place doesn’t need to have an SW postcode to be considered part of South West London. I’m gradually updating the 2025 opening times and adding new information, so please bear with me as this process takes time. Thank you for your patience!
