[[Langham Pond]] was created when the meandering River Thames formed an [[oxbow lake]]. Its status as a wetland [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]] (SSSI) was first notified in 1975 and later reviewed under Section 28 of the [[Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981]] when the protected area was extended to {{convert|64|acre|m2}} within Runnymede as managed by the National Trust.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1000918.pdf|title=Langham Pond:Citation|last=Anon|publisher=English nature|access-date=2 October 2009}}</ref>

The pond and associated meadow form a habitat considered unique in Southern England and of international importance for nature conservation. The [[flora]] and [[fauna]] include nationally scarce plants and insects including a species of fly unrecorded elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
