Swim the Night 12 Hampton 2026

Hampton and the surrounding Richmond upon Thames area offer a mix of traditional bed and breakfasts in converted Victorian townhouses and modern boutique options near the riverfront. For those seeking proximity to the lido, local guesthouses typically range from £90 to £160 per night. Visitors looking for a more immersive stay can also find independent hotels in nearby Kingston, which provide easy access to the pool via short transit links, generally falling into the mid-range price bracket.

The weekend of the swim allows for exploration of the Thames Path, which offers extensive walking and cycling routes along the river. Visitors can spend time exploring the historic grounds of Hampton Court Palace or take advantage of the numerous local green spaces, such as Bushy Park, for light recovery movement. For those interested in water-based activities outside the pool, various providers along the river offer kayak and paddleboard rentals to explore the local waterways at a more relaxed pace.
