Trans swimmers have long used the women’s pool at Hampstead Heath, London.

City of London Corporation, the governing body of the capital, have clarified their policy with a trans-inclusive statement for the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond.

Anyone can access female facilities if they identify as a woman, MyLondon reported.

What does this mean?

Hampstead Heath is an affluent patch of North London.

There are three swimming ponds in the green area: one for men, one for women, and a gender-diverse pool. The women’s pool is on the eastern side of the park, off of Millfield Lane.

Since 1926, the dug-up reservoir has is a women’s only space. It includes a secluded bathing pond.

Trans women can now take a dip in the pool in the knowledge they are protected by the policy.

The pool has previously been used by Kate Moss, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Emma Thompson.

Furthermore, the new ‘robust and consistent’ policy from the Corporation follows a major public consultation.
