England's ten largest lakes and reservoirs

This collection includes reservoirs as well as natural lakes and uses surface area rather than depth or volume. Water levels and published measurements differ, so this is a top-ten name collection rather than a precise comparison of current water areas. Scotland’s lochs are outside this England-only selection.
