London is home to a lesser-known lido that many don't know exists - and I've even managed to find free kids' tickets
My boys all love a lido - there's nowhere better than an outdoor pool to while away a warm summer day lazing on a lounger
One of our family favourites is something of a well-kept secret, given that it's just half an hour north of London
If you're on staycation this summer, you can still get that holiday vibe by heading to Hitchin Lido in Hertfordshire
A beautiful art deco pavilion dating from 1938 with a distinctive sunburst design of the era set the scene, overlooking the 50m heated pool
In the past, you could hop between the indoor and outdoor pools once you've paid for a £7.20 adult swim or £3.60 junior swim
Thankfully I've found a way to save the pennies - this year, there's an offer that lets a child swim free with a paying adult, if you have a Kids Pass to show at reception
