Highgate Men's Pond is one of London's most iconic outdoor swimming spots — a spring-fed natural pond tucked into the ancient woodland of Hampstead Heath. It has been a place of men's outdoor bathing for over 100 years.
The North London chapter meets early on Wednesdays, before the working day begins. The pond opens at 7am for members. Our session starts as the gate opens — a 30-minute dip, warm up, and you're back on the Northern line by 8:30.
Postcode for sat nav: N6 6EP. Nearest tube: East Finchley (Northern line), 10-minute walk. The pond is in the east of Hampstead Heath. Follow signs from the car park.
The Highgate Men's Pond is a lifeguarded venue managed by the City of London. Lifeguards are present at all times during opening hours. Follow all lifeguard instructions. The pond closes in severe weather.
No booking required. Just turn up at Highgate Men's Pond at 7am on any Wednesday. We meet at the entrance gate.
