Default Where to fish near Hampton Court ?

Hi all.
My better half is attending a course at Hampton Court on the weekend of 13th-14th March.
She will be there all day for both days.
I have graciously offered to take her to the venue, but obviously I need to find something to do between 10am and around 3pm.
So, where can I go and fish?
Needs to be fairly close, as I don't want to waste fishing time by driving miles!!
I have only fished stillwaters so far ( I am quite new to this), so any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks in advance for the advice,
Regards,
Gary.

Syon Park, part of the Albury Estate fisheries.

Very pretty spring fed stock pond. Only draw back is the planes coming into Heathrow knock your hat off.

As someone's mentioned, Syon park's worth a cast, or Halliford Mere, which is closer! both offer decent, if unspectacular fishing.

Of course if you were interested in coarse fishing, you are right on the banks of the Thames! (or Bushy Park ponds opposite). I spent my student days in that area many years back (was at Kingston Poly and rented house in East Molesey for a while) - actually jumped into the river off Hampton Court bridge one drunken night, but thats another story.... If all else fails, there used to be a decent pub opposite called the Streets of London ...hence the "one drunken night"...

Thanks for that chaps.
I think I will fish Halliford mere on the Sat, and Syon on the Sunday.
Well, that's me sorted then.
Having looked at Syon's website, it looks like it will be some blue flash damsels then !
Thanks again,
Gary.
