Should be Hampstead Ponds. Andy Mabbett 22:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Nice gmaptrack link ... not sure whether the article can be renamed whilst in vfd? Tim! ( talk) 16:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
I sometimes do it, but you're not really supposed to. If I do I make sure I edit the link to the VfD notice in the article, and then I add "moved to Somewhere else or whatever" to the heading of the VfD so people know it's been moved. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 18:29, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I can't see the merger proposal indicated at the head of the article, which is a pity, because I agree that this article ought to be subsumed into the Hampstead Heath article. At the moment, this article is slightly confused (unlike the main article), because there are two sets of ponds: one (near Highgate) called Highgate Ponds, with the two single sex bathing ponds and one (near Hampstead) called Hampstead Ponds, with the mixed sex bathing pond. There are also a large number of other ponds, not used for bathing, which the article does not make clear. It's easy to see which ponds are which by looking at the A-Z. Google maps is inaccurate in this respect, because it omits Hampstead Ponds entirely and only shows three of Highgate Ponds.
If this article is to be maintained, it should be substantially rewritten, but I see no merit in this when the correct information is available at Hampstead_Heath#Highgate_and_Hampstead_Ponds.

As has been previously explained, Hampstead Ponds isn't an accurate or satisfactory name for this article. I propose using the compromise article title "Hampstead Heath Ponds", then within the article the main 8 Highate Ponds and the three main Hampstead Ponds can be described. I see no issue with Whitestone pond being included too, despite it arguably not being on the Heath. This structure would closely match the existing "Hampstead Heath#Areas_of_the_heath", which would aid consistency. Bloodholds ( talk) 16:49, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
The London Pools Campaign website seems to be not maintained anymore. Instead, links to these groups could be added:
Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association
United Swimmers Association of Hampstead Heath
Mixed Pond Action Group (depending on if this is about the Hampstead Ponds or Highgate Ponds) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.33.8 ( talk) 09:45, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I suggest there should be a secton about the History of the Hampstead Ponds, jsut as there is for, for example, Brockwell Park lido.
I know that a parachute landmine landed on the Ponds during the last War, causing several deaths. I do not know the reference for this, but have been told it. Nicholas J Reed ( talk) 09:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
User:Spike 'em just locked this down from the approximate "some thirty" to a straight "thirty", but is there an exact source for how many ponds there are? https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/assets/Green-Spaces/hampstead-heath-map.pdf lists 18 by name, 24 if you count each of the Seven Sisters separately, but also has a few unnumbered blue splodges. -- Lord Belbury ( talk) 18:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
