"One of my favourite places in London for a swim just for women. Contrary to many others, who (perhaps fairly) criticise the more restricted and expensive access to the ponds nowadays, following covid, I think there's a plus which is that it's much quieter to swim there now - it doesn't get crowded which I think is lovely."

"The ponds are exclusive to women making this and the swimming experience quite unique as you swim in Nature in the fresh, natural and cold water. You can watch overhead wildlife including parakeets, wonderful dragonflies and of course the ever changing open sky. Always clean and tidy with excellent, minimal facilities and very private so no photos are to be taken plus incredible and excellent value at £4.20. Come on Ladies, go for a safe, refreshing and restorative swim...or float!"

"Lovely place for a morning dip. Pre 11.30 you can queue to get in. Really worth it!"

"Perfection! Can't wait to go swimming again!! Haven't been here since waaaay before the pandemic and everything has changed a bit. The changing rooms are much nicer (although the water in the showers was colder than the pond!! Haha) and more spacious and I loved that there was a secluded meadow before the ticketed entrance, where you can spend as much time as you want before/after swim! All the staff were lovely and I enjoyed my swim so much!"
