BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.

Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Tooting Bec Lido, Wandsworth

The dial is on the building at the north end of the pool. It is designed to show BST, using upright Arabic hour numerals for 7am to 6pm, so the dial declines slightly to the east, but the gnomon is incorrectly on the noon line - it should lie before 1am (BST - noon GMT) . The hour lines are black arrows pointing outwards from a small blue sun with golden flames. Above the horizon line are decorative red and green lines.
