westminster ponds印象

Lovely wooded park surrounding 3 large ponds/ small lakes in South end of London. Trails sufficient for an hour or two of walking or 40+ min run ( some creativity required to connect smaller loops of trail).

on july the 15th 2013 i went to westminister ponds.i did not enjoy it too much because the dirt paths were so muddy you had to just walk on the side of the path for the whole way,not to exiting.also i did not get to see much wild life other then fish,frogs and a load of disgusting bugs,ewwwwwww!although if you have a small boat or raft you might want to consider fishing in their huge pond.also if you are gonna come here you might as well wear rubber boots.if you come here you might want to bring a camera like me because you might spot something interesting, and then want to catch it on tape.it is a good place for walks(when paths are dry!)because of the 11km trail including 200 hectares of trails and wildlife.

The Ponds are such a beautiful spot to take in nature. It's hard to believe you are in the heart of the city while walking under those tall trees and passing the wildlife of the ponds. Beautiful spot for a hike and quiet reflection. One of London's best kept secrets.

Will revisit but bring water with us next time. Did not realize what a big area it covered? Only thing we found a problem was some people with dogs unleashed. Overall a great experience.

I live near the ponds and we have spent many days here. We have done some geocaching with friends here (always fun). I used to pick my daughter up from school at lunch time and we would have a picnic here. Sometimes the family will just go for a walk along the trails.Wonderful relaxing area.

Great walking paths in the summer and snowshoe and crosscountry in the winter. A must destination reachable by city bus or car.

To me I would list it but to be seen if there spare time and if you are not a nature lover don't even think about it.

Spent two hours walk the trails about Saunders Pond and Tumbleson Pond within the area. Unlike some other reviewers, I found the trails well marked with yellow patches on trees. A current map is available from the Tourist INformation centre at the entrance off Wellington. The trails are earth or boardwalk so can be muddy but were mostly dry when I visited. I went in mid morning mostly to wonder and take photos. I plan a later visit during the fall for fall colours. May would be great for birds. I saw some but no unusual or migrating species. There is a pdf map available on-line which is what I used. It isn't 100% to scale but worked for me. One note is that at point 2 on the map one has to walk on a portion of paved road to finish the loop about Saunders Pond. The map sort of implies it is regular trail and the Tourist map implies there is no connection

If you bring your dog with you to the ponds, beware of unleashed dogs. I have seen 3 dobermans several times with no owner in site. How unfair to the rest of us! Also the signage is really bad, so bring your GPS.
