Swan Lake on your doorstep!

The Boating Lake in Alexandra Palace Park features a fantastic fleet of pedalos, perfect for a fun and relaxing time on the water. It’s a sensational experience and a great day out for everyone – whether you’re with family, friends, or on a casual date.

Each pedalo seats up to four people, and the Boathouse is located right next to the Boating Lake Café – currently closed for refurbishment and set to reopen in summer 2025. In the meantime, grab a bite from our pop-up food trucks or head over to the East Court Café to round off your visit.

Open daily from Saturday 3 May for summer!
