The HL (presumably a local landmark) is located right here, ON the bridge. It doesn't exactly look impressive when crossing it. To enjoy the fantastic view you see in the photos, you have to walk all the way around the pond. And today (February) I was ankle-deep in mud. On the other hand, two dozen squirrels were happily dancing around me. A worthwhile detour, but with some limitations, at least in the winery.

The Mixed Pond is a natural bathing pond and one of London's best open air swimming spots. The water is deep and opaque and suitable for competent swimmers only.

All the paths around here are shared with pedestrians - and, often, dogs off leads - and kids running around. Caution required!

bring seeds and leave them for the birds on the bridge

At popular times you may need to pre-book.

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.
