The largest seawater lido in the UK, the Jubilee Pool is one of the most unusual pools in England thanks to its triangular shape. Located near the Penzance Harbour on the Cornish coastline, the pool first opened in 1935, the year of King George V’s Silver Jubilee, hence its name.

Designed by Captain F Latham, the pool was built to withstand the power of the Cornish seas and offers both traditional cold water and modern geothermal swimming options. Today, with its unique shape and blissful coastal scenery, the Art Deco pool is one of the most celebrated lidos in the UK. We're ranking it number one here.
