This was called "The Seven Islands Pond". Unfortunately the water table in London has dropped and at least 2 of the islands have rejoined the mainland. I believe this was a gravel extraction pit. At one time there were boats on the pond.

Thanks for that, I knew the name of the place, but it's nice to know why the level has dropped. You're right about the boats, my wife used to canoe there with her school. She also used to go swimming there

I often see lots of people fishing but I'm no fisherman, gave it up as a kid as all I managed to catch was weeds and flu
