Swim outdoors at Highgate Men’s Bathing Pond, a natural bathing pool in the heart of Hamstead Heath in North London. The pond has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and a great sense of community. Easily accessible by London Overground and buses. Concessionary rates are available and there is even free morning swimming for over 60s. There are toilets and changing rooms onsite. The pools are deep and cold so lifeguards are on duty at all times and children must be accompanied.
