Summary

At the Pond: Reflections from the Kenwood Ladies’ Bathing Pond

There was something magical about the unplumbed depths, the moor hens, the dragonflies, the waterlilies, the willows, the floating rings and rafts…

Tucked away along a shady path towards the north-east edge of Hampstead Heath is a sign: Women Only. This is the Kenwood Ladies’ Bathing Pond. Officially opened to the public in 1925, it is the only wild swimming spot in the UK that is reserved for women.
