Lake in Kensington Gardens.
London, England, United Kingdom.
The Round Pond in Kensington Gardens, London, is a large ornamental lake created in 1730 by King George II and is located directly in front of Kensington Palace. Despite its name, the pond is actually rectangular with rounded corners, covering about seven acres and reaching depths of up to five metres. It is a popular spot for birdwatching, featuring swans, ducks, and geese, and is well-known for model yacht sailing, hosting both the Model Yacht Sailing Association and the London Model Yacht Club.
