Parking
Parking at Ruislip Lido is limited, and we always advise that you plan your journey accordingly.
During peak periods, such as the summer holiday’s and sunny Bank Holiday weekends the Lido gets very busy, and the limited parking spaces fill up quickly.
Note: If you are visiting Ruislip Lido by car and the car parks are full, there are no nearby alternatives to our car park. The surrounding areas of the Lido are largely clearway zones and no-stopping restrictions which are strictly enforced.
