THE PONDS
There are 18 ponds scattered across Hampstead Heath. For years they have been used for swimming, ice skating, model boating, fishing and other activities, and the ladies’, mens’ and mixed swimming ponds, especially, are as popular today as ever. They attract big crowds on hot weekend days, so it’s best to get there early
