WHITESTONE POND ~
Situated between  North End Way and East Heath Road, this is a shallow pond originally used for watering horses after trudging up the hill. (see the history of this pond. )

In 2010, Whitestone Pond underwent extensive alterations. (see Pond Preservation Scheme)

(see the City-Of_London Map to establish its exact whereabouts)

The Pond is 450 feet above sea level and is a shallow man-made pool.

It used to be called The Horse Pond.

It owes its present name to a white milestone, upon which is faintly inscribed "IV Miles from St Giles' Pound; 4 1/2 Miles, 29 yards from Holborn Bars"

It can be found across the road from the pond at the top of Hampstead Grove and Upper Terrace, by Judges Walk.
