1832.
This irregularly shaped artificial pond was laid out by Decimus Burton and was extended in 1852. This is possibly the only landscape to remain from the early layout of the Gardens. The south side is incorporated into the New Lion Terraces.
The islands are planted with large willows, and they are populated by pelicans, flamingos, cormorants, and also wild herons which regularly fly in for a meal!
The pond was altered in 1961 and again in 1976.
