Great place for all kind of watersports including swimming, kayaks, paddleboards and sailing. I recommend the royal yach academy sailing courses which start from beginner level and after which you can sail on your own - perfect experience for the summer. The coaches are very good and the staff is friendly. There is also a nice bar for refreshing at the end of the day. Last but not least some pretty chill doggos are walking around ready to make new friends.

Nice enough place but £11 for a swim, and you can’t pay on entry (you have to book through the terrible Better app) is a bit steep. Heath ponds are nicer and only £4. Way too many rules - you have to wear their colour swim caps (no black swim caps allowed for some reason) and they make you swim with a float. They even make you get in and out of the water in one place. All feels a bit restrictive. Fine but about as far from a wild swim as you can get. Cafe is great, will be back for that. If visiting London and want an outdoor swim, skip this place and go straight to the Heath ponds.
