Overview

A meandering route over Hampstead Heath that includes the climb up Parliament Hill for stunning views of the city, followed by elegant Kenwood House, the notable gardens behind Inverforth House and the curiously named Vale of Health - once a very unhealthy spot!

Belsize Park station is on the Northern line. Alternatively, the C11 and 268 buses from opposite Finchley Road station (stop FJ) to Belsize Park take about 15 mins.

If you are not a member of the Hillingdon group, you are welcome to join us but I would be grateful if you would let me know in advance, by text message, your full name.

Belsize Park underground station on the Northern line. Bus C11 or 268 from Finchley Road station is a better option if travelling from Hillingdon. We will be passing Hampstead Heath Overground station at about 10.50. This may be more convenient for some people. Kindly let the leader know.
