You must have heard the expression that there is no place like home… except for the beach! Ruislip Lido is a stunning beach nestled comfortably in Ruislip, UK, a setting that perfectly illustrates this shrewd saying. With its exquisite reservoir and man-made beach, Ruislip Lido promises you and your family an unforgettable treat, should you make the wise decision to go there for a summer vacation. Now, don't sweat it if you haven’t visited the beach before. Relax, and enjoy, as I introduce you to the pristine white-sand beaches, sumptuous views and breathtakingly crystal waters of this idyllic location.
Ruislip Lido is a 60-acre lake that serves as an artificial beach on the outskirts of Ruislip, North West London. With its compelling views, this beach is a stunning sight to behold with its gorgeous clear waters, sandy shores, and, always popular, legendary cocktails. It is the perfect retreat for so many people – both local and international adventurers. Initially a reservoir but then reopened as an outdoor swimming pool, it is an expansive lake, large enough to cater for both larking around and serious angling, with boathouses to accommodate visitors. You also get to feed birds, such as geese, swans, and ducks. What a combination for a perfect day!
A further exciting highlight is the Ruislip mini gauge railway. It runs approximately two-thirds of the way around the reservoir perimeter and interior. Visitors find the experience such a thrill as you glory in nature’s God given gifts.. You can bet you’ll also find it stimulating. Again, there are many tasty ice cream flavors in the lakeside cafe to make your taste buds tingle to add to your experience, and most notably of all, your children with have a wild time and enjoy the freedom and the space. There is also a licensed bar and restaurant to grab your delicious meals as the day moves along..
Now, let's talk about the two extensions to Ruislip Lido –Ruislip Common and Ruislip Woods. These are all a part of your day’s adventure. The woodland surrounding your escape is an ideal place to explore, get lost and then get found again, a true wonderland. And the common can serve as a lawn of luxury to relax or set up your picnic. These two expanses combined promise an ideal setting for early morning exercise or a brisk invigorating walk.

You see, Ruislip Lido is a cool site, with palm trees and exquisite boats. And guess what, it is all totally free. Although if you're not a local resident, you'll have to pay for your parking space, but this is inexpensive. I bet you can’t wait to check it out. Ruislip Lido is where your heart will lead you, and it won’t let you down with its beaches and fun times for the whole family.
