A disabled swimmer has lost a high court case over ticket prices at the Kenwood ladies’ bathing pond in Hampstead Heath in north London.

Christina Efthimiou had asked the court to overturn a 2021 increase in prices at the pond on the grounds that the cost disproportionately affected people with disabilities.
