HAMPSTEAD HEATH LIDO Listed Occupied Site Pool Relining Info box:Client: Corporation of LondonQuantity Surveyor: Davis LangdonValue: £5m Hampstead Heath Lido is one of the few remaining lido structures in the UK. The Grade II listed facility was originally opened in 1938 but was in need of urgent repair. The project consisted of relining the pool with a stainless steel lining, the first of its type in the country– giving the body of water a metallic sheen – and retaining the lido’s original Art Deco design features. The outdated filtration system was also replaced and access for disabled visitors improved. Works also comprised the refurbishment of the existing Grade II Listed buildings to the south side of the complex including the replacement of windows and surrounds, re-roofing, roof light repairs and brickwork and stonework repairs. Works were carried out over the winter months whilst remaining fully open to the public.
