The Jubilee Pool is a grade II listed building built in the Art Deco style and was designed in the early 1930s by Captain F Latham. It was formally opened in May 1935 to mark King George V's Silver Jubilee. In many respects the design is unique architecturally, partly from a point of view of necessity in conforming with existing conditions of wave elements and rocks which controlled the outline. A Cubist style has been used in the interior to provide diving platforms and steps. It is Britain’s largest surviving seawater lido.
The pool was restored with the help of a retired local architect, John Clarke, who formed The Jubilee Pool Association. The JPA worked voluntarily with Penwith District Council to secure grant funding to contribute to the pool's restoration and in 1994, after essential structural works, the pool was reopened. It is now open during the summer months from 1030 to 1800 and can become very busy so stealth will be required when retrieving and replacing.
