Overview

An interesting and varied brisk hilly walk heading north from Central London.

We soon reach Regents Park’s rose garden where we will have time to enjoy the seasonal colour. From there we start on the hills with Primrose Hill and Hampstead, before we turn onto the Heath and into Hampstead Garden Suburb’s green spaces, which will include a visit to the Hoop Lane Crematorium Gardens.

Bring a picnic lunch to eat at Kenwood. WCs along the route and lots of drop out points.

Walking shoes are ideal but be prepared for showery weather.

No booking required.

The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks, the number of breaks taken and the time spent in places of interest.
