I didn t manage to go into the house on this occasion, but spent the afternoon walking around the beautiful gardens and popped into the gift shop (which is part of the main house). Lovely to go in Spring when all sorts of colourful flowers are in bloom. Great place to take kids or dogs (if you have either), there were a few picnic shops happening yesterday despite the rain.

The grounds are also part of Hampstead Heath and have set paths/sections for exploring. It can get quite muddy in places, so bring appropriate footwear. There s a car park on site by Kenwood House which charges, or you can park on the main road/side streets for free. Coffee shop and clean toilets also on site, as well as lots of benches scattered throughout in case you want to stop for a rest. A great way to spend the afternoon, especially if you enjoy photography. There s lots to see.
