The Old Yachting Pond on Tooting Graveney Common
It is hard to believe that if you stood in the same place 15 years ago you would be looking cross a pond. Sometime around 1990, The Old Yachting Pond was enlarged and planted with a variety of wetland species and a boardwalk was added around the edge. Towards the end of the dry spell in summer 2010, there was no sign of any water and only a few wetland plants, the boardwalk, and notices referring to the wetland species present indicated that this was once a pond. The houses beyond are in Elmbourne Road.

The Old Yachting Pond, Tooting Graveney Common
Sometime around 1990, The Old Yachting Pond was enlarged and planted with a variety of wetland species. A boardwalk was added around the edge, and the whole was quite a transformation from its rather formal predecessor. Towards the end of the dry spell in summer 2010, there was no sign of any water and the boardwalk was left high and dry. The houses beyond are in Elmbourne Road.
