Lakeside Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Church End, Finchley, United Kingdom
The reserve contains a pond with a fountain and a small island that provides nesting grounds for local waterfowl and summer dragonfly populations.
The pond was built in the 1890s by Peter Edmund Kay as a water reservoir for commercial greenhouses of Claigmar Vineyard market garden.
The nature reserve functions as an educational resource for local communities to study and observe native plant species like water mint and purple loose-strife.
While the reserve remains privately owned, visitors can view the lake and fountain from public footpaths located on Strathmore Gardens.
The 0.6-hectare site includes a belt of trees surrounding the water body, creating protected habitats for fish, frogs, toads, and terrapins.
