Same thing in Sydney, Australia at the 2000 Olympics Aquatic Center. I was there last year. It was during their winter, and it was a pretty popular place. If you’re staying at one of the two hotels in the Olympic Park you get free use of the aquatics center – there’s also a small water park for the kids and a few Jacuzzis. Olympic Park is in the outskirts of Sydney and there isn’t much else going on out there. But there is a subway transit stop that’s only a block or so from the aquatic center.
Word of advice…probably applies at the London pool too…if you end up having to share a lane and “circle swimming”…you have to swim “clockwise” … opposite direction than we do in North America (counter-clockwise).

Most UK pools alternate lane swim direction. Clockwise/anti-clockwise/clockwise/etc. :)
