Great place to visit to see views over london from parliament hill viewpoint then walk down to the bathing ponds and they even have a pond for dogs to swim in.
My first visit to this open green space and viewpoint and I will use the bathing ponds in the future.

The Heath is lovely but the parking in East Heath Road car park is a P take! Ridiculously expensive as it's not as though it's all that accessible by bus or tube from other parts of London

Beautiful wild green space. Something for everyone here.

What a space. Love for humanity.Kenwood house next door is Guineas and Guinness

Great place for a family weekend. Very easy to spend 3-4 hours.
-> very large green space with meadows, be ready to walk uphill / downhill (nothing challenging)
-> do go to Parliament hill view point to look back at London city center
-> there are couple of ponds, swimming is allowed in some. One of the pond is dedicated for ladies (no men are allowed in that secluded area)
-> Kenwood estate is a lesser known gem maintained and part of English Heritage. Staff at estate are very friendly. We saw live music playing (free) inside the magnificent halls. Check timing and day before visit if you are interested.
-> restaurant has a garden space to sit and enjoy your coffee
-> Dog lovers will get to see every breed in London in one park.
-> toilets are available but be prepared to walk to facilities (don t go crazy with your drinks along with picnic)

A great park on the edge of central London. It is extremely large and boasts many large open areas and fields.

The park is surrounded by affluent residential areas which makes it quite quiet.

There isn't much to do in the park so it's best in sunny days.

Swimming ponds, walking trails and puppies everywhere!

Visiting for Katie Boyle Funeral Wed.21.Mar.2018 at St Mary's RC Church, Holly Walk. Very hilly. Quaint & interesting residential area, wealthy patina. Narrow roads, better appreciated as a pedestrian (not cyclist), Good shop area Hampstead Village nearby, many eateries, Good Public Transport Trains & Buses, limited parking. Good exercise for fitness.

Perfect, London Heathland, very different from a park

We go to the Heath almost every day. And we love it!

A beautiful place. If you want to find peace away from the rat race. Hamstead is the place to come. Explore Hamstead

Gorgeous little heaven, found by mistake and ended up taking brilliant pictures

Lovely autumn day clear blue sky and plenty of colour all around

Amazing playground! Huge field with exercise equipment right on the grass!

My favourite park in London. Worth walking all along. Magical corners, amazing trees and so much green. You can feel away from london when you want to scape from the city life and get immerse in hampstead

Great park for long walks especially during lockdown, plenty of dogs and other wildlife including green feral parakeets. The park has plenty of walks but can be quite muddy.

Beautiful outdoor heath. Cant get much better in London

Too many people using drugs on the corners of the park. Not much to see...
There are many better, more cared, places to go in London

You can't get bored of HH, good kids playgrounds, paddling pool isn't great, plenty of fresh air, Lido gets ridiculously busy on a hot day. Plenty of exploring routes and yummy blackberries

Wonderful place to visit, a truly unique place considering that it is in London. Not difficult to get to if you are taking public transport, and parking is available although you will be required to pay at peak times.

One of the best parks in London, great variety as spaces which offer panoramic London views, sport amenities swimming ponds and sparse sitting spaces. Visit kenwood house at the top!

Massive park with open grassy areas and magical woodland walks. SO MANY DOGGOS Great views from parliament hill. 2 lakes that are open for swimming in...if you've got balls of steel!

Nice Park with places for dogs and humans to swim! Spectacular views over London.

What a wonderful place to walk.
Gorgeous views of London.
Kenwood House is worth a visit.
In the summer one can swim in the ponds.
Start from the North and you will have an easier downhill walk.

To walk around the entire park would take you an hour or more, cycling is limited inside the park great place for a beautiful summer's day has a play area for the kids quite a few Bench's, large open areas and wooded areas. Climb to the top of one of the hills and you'll be treated to a beautiful view of London's skyline. Open 24hrs nice place to spend a hot night or to take a date.

Place is full of life. Shops have latest version of all sorts of goods. Selected shops. Plenty of parking, buses from all around & what a lovely caring hospital.

Lovely place for rambles. Also great for some peace and quiet.

My favourite place in London. Lots beautiful, natural wild nature which is much needed in the big city. To top it all, there are 4 open spaces for outdoor swimming. Magical.

So beautiful, I wish there were no concerts just plain nature in a mega city

A loverly area of green , when you need time away from the city

Great open space just outside London. Good for long walks to get away from city life

My partner and I visit Parliment Hill fields (not hampstead heath) regularly. It's a beautiful area of commoners land.

Beautiful place definitely worth watching the sun set

First time on the heath, love the views and the pond and people watching

Nowhere better for that evening constitutional stroll which so many boyz seem to like taking in the middle of the night!

Absolutely lovely walk. Perfect for families with children. Little advice: don't take pram with you.

You will have a fantastic view of the whole LONDON. No matter you are visitors or native people. It a really good place to visit. There is a huge lawn here. Children always play soccer here. And the night scene here is even better. Don t miss it.

Just love it. Always nice to visit. Well mainained park with a large playground for kids, colorful flover beds, tonnes of Azaleae, delicious icecream.

What is not to love, great for the family, Different parts of the large area have Different parts to visit, close to transport and parking

The park is lovely. Swimming is extremely crowded during warm weather, no space to sit

I live in NW3 and I don't think I've walked every path through the Heath. It's such a colossal space, gorgeous in spring and summer and breathtaking in autumn and winter. It's never deserted but one can still visit there alone and feel like they're the only person on earth. It's so tranquil, so peaceful, and is divide beautifully into areas best loved by dogs, for swimming, and for sports. It's perfect for a picnic, spectacular for a summer saunter, and incredible for awakening the senses when wandering amongst the trees in the rain. Hampstead would not be the same without it!

The best open space in London. You can get away from all things City. Suitable for all abilities. Good pathways for less able and wheelchairs. V good cafe at parliment hill. Kenwood house is beautiful and free to go round. It has a cafe, beware its expensive.

Nice walk with great views of the city. So many dogs around - most I've ever seen in London.

A nice bit of nature in the middle of London. Really nice to go for a walk and forget that you are in one of the largest cities in the world. Keep in mind it is very crowded if the sun is out

Well it isn't central London where all the iconic landmarks are, but it is where you can put most of them into a single picture. I said it was possible if only you can back up far enough, but I digress. It really is just a large green park accessible from central London by the Northern line via Edgewater, though you're in for a bit of a walk up a significant hill. The park is very nature-y, more than some of the others closer to the center. There are various swimming ponds. Parliament Hill is the spot you go for photos, some go to enjoy sunrise.

Lovely place for a picnic or just for a walk. We used to live in North London literally minutes away from Hampstead Heath and loved to have some nice and relaxing time in the park. Still going there from time to time but not so often as we moved in a different area.

Beautiful old and young trees and flowers and many kind of birds and also perspective of London's towers, there is really fabulous.

Hampstead Heath's wonderful open spaces have provided a breath of fresh air for many generations of Londoner. Previously, besides being a place of recreation for rich and poor alike, the heath was a refuge for Highwaymen!

Hampstead Heath is with a doubt one of London's best green and open spaces. Its so big you can easily find yourself surrounded by greenery and its can as though you are not in London at all but in the English countryside.

Weather you are looking for somewhere to walk the dog, go for a jog, have a picnic or even go for a swim in one of the ponds the health offers it all.

Best park in London - everyone should go to the swimming ponds

A rare unmanicured woodland within minutes of London. Well worth a long visit if you're the outdoorsy type

I think it's one of the loveliest parks in London. It's huge, many wild life and lovely ponds and nature. You can have a proper walk. Clean and well kept.

Unbeatable wilderness for a city centre location. Beautiful all times of year. The ponds in the summer make for great swimming, but only if you are a competent swimmer

Stunning green space in London. Forests and paths throughout with bathing ponds available to use too.

Beautiful walks and views. Parking can be a nightmare when the weather is good as there are restrictions in the area. There is a carpark but it gets full very quickly. Make sure you visit parliament hill.

A jewel that's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of central London. Vast open spaces making it perfect for those wishing for a bit of privacy

Huge park, beautiful outdoors, weather was great too

A huge park with great views from Parliament Hill. Good for running or just having a wander around.

Great place to relax. Three ponds and a lido to swim.

A HUGE park, with hundred of paths to explore, cafes, Kenwood House, and playgrounds, Ice-cream men, and so much more. I throughly think that you simply HAVE got to visit, and it s a truly magical place.
