EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1938, showcases the serene and picturesque atmosphere of the Serpentine Lido in London's Hyde Park. The image beautifully encapsulates a warm and sunny day, as bathers enjoy a refreshing dip in the lake, surrounded by the lush greenery of the park. Swans glide gracefully on the water's surface, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The Serpentine Lido, a beloved outdoor swimming facility, was the brainchild of George Lansbury, the first Commissioner of Works, who established it in 1930. The Lido's opening marked a significant moment in the history of London's parks and provided an accessible and affordable recreational space for the city's residents. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures and the beauty of a bygone era. The image's timeless quality invites us to reflect on the importance of community, nature, and the simple joy of a day spent by the water.
