Overview

From the station, we access the Heath immediately and from there the whole walk is on the Heath. We soon leave the crowds behind and cross over to West Heath, where we stop for a break in the lovely Hill Garden. Next we walk the length of the Pergola and cross over to pass Kenwood House, where we will stop for another short break. Just before leaving the Heath we take in Parliament Hill where we should get decent views, and we finish descending to the station past the (in)famous Magdala pub.

Hampstead Heath station on the Mildmay Overground line. Meet outside the station. Note that if you are using the Metropolitan line, the best method is to alight at Finchley Road and take a short walk to Finchley Road & Frognal, from where it is just one stop on the Mildmay line to Hampstead Heath.
