Tooting Bec Common Cafe
The largest outdoor swimming pool in Europe. My husband swims there every morning (all year!).
the pool is open to non-members between May and September - if you are staying here and you like swimming it would be a great shame if you didn't walk across the common (lovely walk, about 10 mins).
