The City of London have informed us that the Ladies’ Pond will remain closed over the weekend as water quality test results are still not satisfactory. As soon as we have any more news we will let KLPA members know.
The Lido will be open for Ladies’ only swimming between 1.30 – 4.30pm.
The Ladies’ Pond has now been closed twice in the space of three weeks due to water contamination incidents. The City of London is due to inform us of the findings of its own investigation and the KLPA is continuing to challenge both the City and Thames Water about what happened and their responses to these incidents.
If you have experienced any ill-effects from these contamination incidents please inform Hampstead Heath Management via:
