The Lido – Valentines Park
Commissioned by Redbridge Council, the Lido in Valentines Park is the first new Lido to be built in east London in decades. Costing £11m, this project is part of a redevelopment of leisure facilities for the people of Redbridge.
The new Lido will help boost the local market and economy and provide a sustainable and social outdoor space for the people of the Redbridge area. Additionally, the new building and its facilities will contribute to the restoration of the heritage of Valentines Park.
The construction of the Lido in Valentines Park is committed to sustainability. Therefore, Encon Associates were appointed to provide Ecological Support, Landscape Architecture, Tree Survey, Thermal Modelling, Energy Assessment, Daylight and Sunlight Analysis, Acoustic Surveys, Traffic and Transport Assessment, and BREEAM before any construction works commenced.

We have been delighted with the service from Encon Associates throughout and for their help in achieving a BREEAM Very Good rating on both phases of our Bishop Auckland retail park project.
The online IES TaP system meant I was able to keep a close eye on how things were progressing from start to finish – an excellent facility.
Finally, thanks for your own personal contribution and guidance which was invaluable – very much appreciated. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Encon Associates and look forward to working with you on future projects.
