As well as the mixed pond, there's the Kenwood ladies' pond and Highgate men's pond, both of which can be found on the eastern edge of the heath. You do have to pay to swim here (or you can buy a season ticket) but you get a clean pond with a lifeguard and changing facilities. Open all year.

The Mixed Bathing Pond to the North and the concerningly named No.2 Pond to the South, seen from Belsize Walk that crosses between the two.

The bathing pond is a natural pond and one of London's best open air swimming spots. Lifeguards are on duty and there are changing rooms and outdoor (cold!) showers. At popular times you may need to pre-book.
