Jubilee Pool has always been more than a place to swim, as the elaborate hairstyles of these three women suggests. This image of relaxing at the local lido echos the glamour associated with the original Lido di Venezia.

Although this photo was thought to be of Jubilee Pool, the grass that has been spotted at the bottom of the image has put this notion into doubt. Do you know more about this image: Who is in it? Where was it taken?
