Best places: Lakes in Greater London

👍👍 I recently visited Portsmouth Harbour shopping center and was blown away by the variety of shops and restaurants on offer. The center was clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. I especially enjoyed the range of dining options available, with everything from fast food to sit-down restaurants....

Lake in Hyde Park offering rowing & pedal boats, swimming, bird life & a waterside restaurant.

Reservoir with an artificial beach that offers sunbathing & boating, plus a miniature railway.

👍 Fantastic space to jog, walk, or sit and do nothing. The park is flat and in the middle is a beautiful lake. Have only walked around the lake, so I'm not too sure what is beyond. There is also a nice restaurant near the entrance with toilet facilities and for what I've seen, the food doesn't look...

👍 An irregularly shaped former 19th.Century gravel pit on the southeastern tip of Epping Forest and owned by the Corporation of London. Also the site of the long demolished Whipps Cross Lido, now the habitat of birds and ducks. The irregular shape and uneven grade makes for an interesting amble around...

👍👍 What a place my family love it, we mainly do crab catching in the lake but have also used the pedalos that are available and that is where we went for the Queens Jubilee on the Thursday and just sat and had a picnic on the grass area with everyone else, it was a cracking atmosphere. So Canoe Lake we...

👍 Nice scenery with ducks and swan. But not much parking space and the entrance is tricky

👍👍 Great place opposite the Kensington Palace. Loads of ducks geese swans pigeons and seagulls are there. Just recently saw this beautiful black swan swimming alongside with the white ones. Sometimes at weekend people come here with their modell boat for racing. Interesting to watch them.

👍👍 A beautiful and lovely place to go for a walk or a run. There is a beautiful trail all around the lake. Your can go fishing, camping, and also spent time with the beautiful swans over there. Ideal for a small picnic. The area is kept clean and there are public toilets as well. It's quite safe as CCT...

👍 Small but nice area, the pond includes a fountain and is surrounded by a path with a foot bridge. Couple of benches are available, nice chance for a rest as the surrounding streets are quite busy. As you can see on the photos, there is no fence between the path and the water, so look after young chi...

👍 I was not there .

👍👍 Lovely place to sit and enjoy the quiet

👍👍 Great venue for walking or cycling around on a sunny day. You can walk around either the smaller feeder lake, Westport Lake itself or both. Trails lead off to conservation areas, a mini maze and to the Trent & Mersey Canal. There is a kids play area and visitor centre with dog-friendly café and to...

👍👍 I love the walk around the lake. The cafe is really lovely too.

👍👍 Lovely spot for a dog walk, the lake was partially frozen and very picturesque.

🫤 Great fishery it's a shame that many of the swims are in a state with unsafe banks and overgrown vegetation I am disabled not in a wheelchair but not to steady on my feet the first thing I done today was feel over on the rather steep bank not a good start but things like that happen from time to tim...

👍 Beech Hill Lake seems to be the perfect place to go fishing! 🎣 Wonderful and picturesque, in particular the reflections on the lake of the trees! 🌳

👍👍 Great to walk around or get in to paddle board. There are a few launch points, one next the pub on the water. Next to it is a children’s park. At the end where it meets radford park is a few scuttled shipwrecks and a tower to explore. Quite sheltered from the plym so good location if water condition...

👍 Amazing park

👍👍 Cracking little area just off Smithypool Rd in Fenton. It's a real nice spot to walk around with it's own sort of raw beauty, enjoying sights of Swans, Ducks, a few different type of Butterfly, Bats and so I'm told the place is good for fishing aswell. Hard to believe this is in the middle of a bus...
