In northwest London at one of its highest points, Hampstead Heath contains the largest area of common land in the capital. Here you can escape the Big Smoke and enjoy fantastic walks, picnics, swimming, tennis, running and kite flying, as well as the great pubs, restaurants, shops and architecture of the surrounding areas. These areas range from the slightly scrappy Archway (where we’re based hence our bias towards the East side of the Heath), to the very well-to-do climes of Hampstead - whose former residents include George Orwell, Piet Mondrian, Sigmund Freud, Aldous Huxley, John Keats and Henry Moore - and everything in between. With so many fantastic places to visit, our guide is just the tip of the iceberg, so we encourage you to go and explore!
Magical Aladdin’s Cave of doll’s house furniture, toys, board games, marbles, collectables, kites, miniatures and automata.
Perfect French wine bar serving delicious seasonal food alongside fantastic signature dishes.
Great food market stocking a variety of tasty picnic supplies perfect for a picnic spread.
Tucked away in the residential area near the Heath known as Dartmouth Park Village is this very special fish kitchen. Reasonably new to the area, Lure offers a modern take on the traditional fish and chip shop and a decor that transports you to the seaside. Only fresh, sustainable, seasonal fish is used, provided by day boat fishermen & responsible fish farms from in and around the UK. There are weekly specials and the batter is made with locally brewed Camden Hells’ beer.
