Hampstead

Hampstead

Overview

Otherwise known as the 'which house would you like to live in' walk?

Once known as the ‘vale of health’, a countryside retreat where people could escape the filth and pollution of London, Hampstead was transformed in to a picturesque Georgian village which over the years has been home to a plethora of famous artists and writers such as John Constable, Daphne du Maurier, H.G Wells and John Keats (to name but a few). Today it is the playground of the rich and famous and who can blame them, especially with 800 acres of beautiful heath on their doorstep. We’ll explore the nooks and crannies of this London village, delving in to the secrets that have made it what it is today.
