just an idea

Local pool is Jubilee Centre, Caird Street off Harrow Road. Sometimes use Hampstead Heath Lido. I've never tried the ponds - watching "In the Line of Beauty" on TV recently suggested that maybe the users have different intentions than triathlon training!
I cycle in & out of work daily but if I'm doing any proper training in London I usually just lap around Regent's Park.
Would be happy to join a regular swimmig group above all else. With 2 very young kids training & social time is very scarce.

Just read your message - re Hampstead Ponds - do you know if we're able to use them for open water swims with wet suits etc etc.
I'm also North London and its hard to find any decent places to practice open water swimming - but your suggestion re hampstead made me think. Is it a big lake - I can't picture it even though I know the area well.

On telly recently, during a news feature on the heatwave, they showed big crowds sunbathing beside the Hyde Park Sepentine. It looked like this was "swimmable in". Get some first hand experience for London 2012 race day!!
Opening times & prices here:

I'm sure there are photos on google etc.
They're quite big. The ladies pond is hidden from view but there's another which you can walk past - not sure if it's the male only or mixed pond. My recollection is that it's easily 100m long. Any Saturday afternoon I've walked past it's been unused. It might be worth calling London Corporation to find out more.
The Lido is great though very full on a hot day. It closes too early for me though, even during June/July/August. 6pm I think. I start work at 7.30am so early morning doesn't work either.
Here's me talking like I'm a swimming know-it-all. I'm totally crap and have only done 1500m twice in my life: 47 mins in Dublin in '98 and 34 mins at Windsor last month (32 mins 50 secs in the water though!).
Hoping to move up to Oly next year after 3 in sprint distance
