Hampstead Heath is just a short Tube or bus ride from London. A must visit if you need a break from busy London and easy to get to. The views are spectacular with the ponds, woods, walkways, and the view of London from the top of Parliament Hill. Its also a chance to see the locals taking walks and enjoying... More

If you manage to get a sunny afternoon then head up to the heath for a break from the concrete and a great view! More

It is one of my "must do" things when I go to London. I did an early morning walk and ended up at kenwood house for breakfast. Love Hampstead Heath.

From Hampstead Heath that history... More

Oasis of calm in London. Would recommend the swimming ponds in summer. More

This is a perrenial favourite for us. The walks / vistas are varied. Easy to get 'lost' in the countryside as you wander onto Parliment Fields or mooch towards West Hampstead for a coffee. A visit to Kenwood House is always interesting. Refreshments in the Stable Yard are always good. I love their lavender cake. More

We were lucky enough to visit Hampstead Heath on a fine sunny day at Easter. Although the weather was still cool, it was a lovely day for exploring the vast park. We had been in central London for several days, and friends suggested that this was a great place for a long walk. They were absolutely right. It is easily... More
