Chingford Reservoirs, Two connected reservoirs in Enfield, England.
The King George V and William Girling reservoirs form a water system covering 391 hectares of open water in northeast London.
The construction of King George V Reservoir began in 1908, while William Girling Reservoir started in 1938 and finished in 1951 due to World War II delays.
The reservoirs host 85 wetland bird species, including substantial populations of shovelers, great crested grebes, and multiple gull varieties throughout the year.
King George Sailing Club operates on the reservoirs, providing opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, wing foiling, and stand-up paddleboarding activities.
During winter, the reservoirs become a major roosting site for up to 70,000 gulls, including black-headed, common, lesser black-backed, and herring varieties.
