Heath swimming can be booked at https://www.activetrainingworld.co.uk/swimming-on-hampstead-heath/
Booking opens the day before:
From 11.00 Kenwood Ladies’ Bathing Pond 07.00 Session & 08.30 Session.
From 12.00 Hampstead Mixed Bathing Pond 07.00 Session & 08.30 Session.
From 13.00 Highgate Men’s Bathing Pond 07.00 Session & 08.30 Session.
From 14.00 Parliament Hill Fields Lido 07.00 Session & 08.30 Session.
(there is also a 10am session on Monday in the ponds)
Sessions sell out very quickly.
Charlton Lido is bookable via the Better app. As with West Reservoir sessions can be booked from 10pm 7 days ahead. Availability seems reasonably good at Charlton.
Better (Charlton and West Reservoir) are letting a dozen people in every 10 minutes and running day long sessions. You are trusted to leave after your slot. The Heath are running hour long sessions with everyone in at the beginning and then clearing the facility between sessions. The later approach leads to big queues and appears slightly bonkers but does prevent abuse.
