Pond Square

Located close to Highgate High Street and The Gatehouse it is today in the London Borough of Camden.

Swain's Lane runs off the square heading downhill past Highgate Cemetery.

It takes its name from the ponds that used to exist there, created by sand and gravel extraction.

Once an open treeless space, houses were slowly added over the centuries.
