The City of London has been advised that in response to the public health emergency the swimming ponds and Lido on Hampstead Heath must be closed with effect from closing time today, Saturday 21 March.
ALL the ponds and the Lido are now closed for swimming until further notice. This applies equally to the Winter Swimming Club at the Mixed Pond.
Please take seriously the need to avoid creating opportunities for the virus to spread. Even if you feel well, someone else may not be so lucky.
We will of course inform you as soon as the ponds reopen.
Stay safe and well until we are able to resume swimming.
