Hampstead Heath
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!

Launched in January of this year after extensive renovation, this cosy cocktail bar was once a Victorian lavatory. Owner William Borrell is the craft spirit producer of Vestal Vodka and Highwayman Gin which is produced on site using a 16 litre copper still. Wonderful seasonal cocktails are created by friendly barmen using ingredients sourced from Hampstead Heath allotments to produce homemade liqueurs, syrups and herbs. There’s live music on Thursdays- Saturdays but arrive early to be sure to get in.
