Join the HMPA to get updates on our latest events.

HMPA AGM - date TBD

For the last few years we have held the AGM in the open air at the Parliament Hill Lido, in the late Autumn. Please join us if you would like to discuss and vote on appointments.

Ponds Summer Party - Saturday June 15th 6.30pm - 9pm (in the past!)

At the Parliament Hill Lido. Bring partners and friends! £10 / ticket plus optional donation. Live music, barbecue*, beer and wine included in the ticket; Swimming and Sauna until 8pm. Book here at Ticket Tailor. Email HMPA if you'd like to volunteer. *Meat, plant-based, and alcohol-free options.

Inclusive Breakfast - Saturday April 27th 2024, 9-10.30am (in the past!)

This is a smaller-scale event than last week - inclusive for all Masculine folk.

This breakfast runs from 9am to 10.30am; we will serve coffee & tea, scrambled eggs, tofu, mushrooms and toast, cooked by volunteers who are regular swimmers at the men's. The breakfast is free, funded by the association; usual City swimming charges apply.

Ladies / All Genders Breakfast - Saturday April 20th 2024, 8-11am (in the past!)

Come and meet other swimmers from the Ladies and Mixed ponds, the Lido, and from further afield!

The breakfast runs from 8am to 11am; we serve coffee, scrambled eggs, bagels, toast, croissants, and - back by popular request - Brazilian pão de queijo cheese breads! (Sounds like "ponchoo kayzhoo" to me :)

The breakfast is free, funded by the association; usual City swimming charges apply.

You can usually tie up friendly dogs 🐕‍🦺 near the sentry box at the entrance, at the city steward's discretion, and bikes can be locked to the railings - at your own risk of course 😬. There is a new rather unfriendly 8' high fence made of 2-3mm wire - we don't recommend locking a bike to this as it doesn't look very robust.
