The ladies pond on hampstead heath is a sacred little spot for me. It has seen me in many moods, has healed many wounds.

I once heard a couple of ladies in the changing room talking after a winter dip, saying how much more pressure on the mental heath services of the NHS there would be in the borough if the ponds didn't exist. And I completely agree.

When I am in a bit of a slump or feel like I am heading in a downward spiral, I prescribe myself a swim a day in the ponds to sort myself out. It works everytime.

Try it!
