About
The Jubilee Pool at Penzance is a triangular Art Deco saltwater lido (1935) jutting into Mount's Bay — restored after storm damage in 2015 with the UK's first geothermally-heated public pool added in 2020. The triangular plan and the views across to St Michael's Mount make it one of the most-photographed lidos in Britain.
