    (Translated by Google) The Round Pond ornamental pond is located in Kensington Gardens, built by King George II in 1730, to the detriment of the name is actually more a 200x150 meter parallelepiped with rounded corners about 5 meters deep at the maximum point. It is a pleasant place, populated by a wide variety of birds: swans, starlings, Egyptian geese, coots, ducks ... where you can relax sitting on the benches placed along the banks or lying in the manicured lawns that surround it. It is the reference point for the Model Yacht Sailing Association and for the London Model Yacht Club who see their registered fans try their hand at piloting boat models over many Sundays throughout the year. (Original) Il laghetto ornamentale Round Pond è situato nei Kensington Gardens, realizzato da re Giorgio II nel 1730, a scapito del nome è in realtà piu un parallelepipedo di 200x150 metri dagli angoli arrotondati profondo circa 5 metri nel punto massimo. È un luogo piacevole, popolato da un'ampia varietà di volatili: cigni, storni, oche egiziane, folaghe, germani... dove ci si può rilassare seduti sulle panchine collocate lungo le sponde oppure adagiati nei prati ben curati che lo circondano. È il luogo di riferimento della Model Yacht Sailing Association e del London Model Yacht Club che vedono i propri appassionati iscritti cimentarsi nel pilotare modelli di natanti nel corso di molte domeniche durante l'anno.

    Beautiful. The ducks and swans are very friendly and greedy for food. Nice place to bring your children and to be in contact with the nature.

    Great fishing lake Just getting used to it think I'm using to heavy gear only fished ot three times so far nothing on my carp rod's few runs but a nice about 5/6lb carp on my quiver tip But for £50 a year less than a pound a week your paying 20/30 pounds for one night at other lake's and there is 27/28lb carp in there As said have to learn how to fish it Great snack waggon on the lake 24/7 at reasonable prices So you should try it out all the other fisherman good to talk to and hopeful haven't tried the other lake yet

    Loved looking at the swans up close. Peaceful in the morning and a good place to stroll

  • 5/5 Leonardo S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place that is not affected by the proximity of the opposite Hyde Park. The presence of a black swan is very particular, even if a little, unfortunately, bare. (Original) Bellissimo posto che non risente per niente la vicinanza dell’opposto Hyde Park. Molto particolare la presenza di un cigno nero, anche se un po’, purtroppo, spelacchiato.

  • 5/5 Kartikey 4 years ago on Google
    Truly a breathing place. Awesome view with lots of swans and other ducks with seagulls and pigeons. Could be windy because of the open area but worth it.

  • 5/5 Justin B. 3 years ago on Google
    Very clean full of different types of birds, great view of Kensington Palace.

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful birds. Wide and calm lake. The swan tickled my hand. It would have been nice to see together. (Original) 멋진 새들. 넓고 잔잔한 호수. 백조가 내 손을 간지럽게 물었다. 같이 보면 좋았을 걸.

    Not very round unfortunately, but my friend loves the ducks here so it's good for them i guess

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 7 years ago on Google
    Many birds, looks very nice.

  • 5/5 Jeeves W. 5 years ago on Google
    It’s really rather more of a soft rectangle with jut-outs on all four sides than it is ‘round’, but the joyful abundance of ducks makes the titular oversight forgivable.

  • 5/5 Urs B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice pond in the middle of London and within Kensington Gardens. Really interesting how the ducks, swans and other birds do not really bother about all the people around them.

  • 5/5 Anežka A. 6 years ago on Google
    Such a nice place if you want to relax for a while. And if you want to feel the atmosphere of nature in such a huge city.

  • 5/5 Ann W. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful, of course it is, as is all of the Royal Borough. I used to live in Church Street and walk every day in Kensington Gardens. If it's good enough for Peter Pan, it's good enough for me.

👍 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...

As you can see on the photos, there is no fence between the path and the water, so look after young chi...
