Untamed Park With a
View

Why locals love it

Just a short walk north of Camden Town lies one of London's largest and most rustic parks. Unlike the city's other manicured green offerings, Hampstead Heath is rugged and natural, containing some of the oldest woodlands you'll find this close to London, along with with ponds, creeks, rolling hills and natural wildlife.

Why you should visit it

This place is huge, and you could spend hours exploring the many trails. Grab a couple of drinks and take a walk up Parliament Hill, one of the highest points in London. Here you'll find the best view of London's entire city skyline. Summertime sees hundreds of young locals on 'the Heath' sunbathing, drinking cider and swimming in the ponds.
