"SOUTHWARK LIDO" (opened 3-07-2008 - closed 13-07-2008) 
UNION STREET, LONDON, SE1 

The main (western) portion of Union Street runs east><west. Along its north side there is an approx 16m wide strip between the street and the great brick cliff of the railway viaduct from London Bridge station - a 40m long undeveloped portion of this was used by EXYZT for the construction of "SOUTHWARK LIDO" for the London Festival of Architecture 2008.
