Swan Lane Open Space, Public park in Whetstone, London Borough of Barnet, England.
The space contains a kidney-shaped pond surrounded by water lilies and rushes, plus grassy areas interspersed with mature trees and woodland patches.
The park emerged in the 1930s on former gravel extraction sites, with the pond marking the location of a tragic drowning incident in 1925.
The upper section of Swan Lane Open Space gained recognition as a filming location for Monty Python's comedy sketches in the early 1970s.
The park includes designated play areas for different age groups, from toddlers to teenagers, along with a cafe and multiple entry points.
Among the diverse tree collection, giant redwoods and a Cedar of Lebanon stand as notable specimens within this smallest of Barnet's Premier Parks.
