The cross London endurance cyclists arrive at Charlton Lido to be met by protestors calling for the re-opening of the lido last Saturday 21st August.

Greenwich Council are carrying out temporary works at the lido, and are in negotiation with the swimming club to re-open the lido within the next few weeks for club use only.  The lido is used by the Charlton Swimming Club, the Cross Channel Swimming club, the Charlton Canoe Polo club and Greenwich Titons triathletes.  The lido will not open to the public this year.

The costs estimates for re-opening the lido are £120,000 for club use and £500,000 for public use.
