4. Hampstead Heath Ponds
A popular favourite among celebrities, Hampstead Heath Ponds are the perfect escape from the summer London heatwaves. They have men’s, women’s, and mixed gender ponds open year-round.
Even if you’re not looking to swim, the high grass and shaded areas are perfect for an afternoon walk or picnic with friends. For Edgar-Jones, her college afternoons were spent in the Hampstead Heath Ponds with friends, drinks, and a Mac DeMarco playlist.
