Take a visit to the countryside within London! Away from the crowded city this walk explores the undulating leafy lanes of village Hampstead with its pretty cottages, unique shops and hidden corners. Hampstead was home to famous painters and poets, such as Constable and Keats, and novelists too. See the areas that inspired them, from uplifting views across the Heath to spooky overgrown churchyards, plus the home of an architect who became a James Bond villain. Peaceful Hampstead is a charming and attractive area from which you see unexpected glimpses of the city you've left behind. It is hard to believe that a journey from central London that took 3 hours in the 18th century now takes only 20 minutes on the Underground!
