London's best park. It's the antithesis to the endless football fields and perfectly manicured gardens that encompass most of London's limited green space. Ancient trees and dirt paths make up the most pleasant of the heath's space. Cleared areas at the highest points provide for a fantastic and popular view, easily beating out competing viewpoints.

Make sure not to miss the pergola to the west and, for those willing to brave the chilled water, the lido.

Every time I come here I fall in love with this place all over again, the birds, the whistling wind in the leaves, feeling like you're lost deep in a forest, the flower gardens, the views... it's a totally different experience of London.

The grass seems to be leaking.. But the dogs loved it

What a gift a walk on the Heath is, it will cute you of all your ills and woes. Autumn is the most glorious display of full colours turning lovely day.

Love this park. I used to walk my dog there. I've so many wonderful memories of me and my dog just spending hrs playing in the field. It's huge and the best outdoor view of London!

Lovely place to come with your family, friends or even alone,for picnicking or some sports,it has some good spots for slack lines and some short but nice trails for montain biking

Should be more signs on paths ,endless people asking directions ,but enjoyed

Superb surroundings, especially the park is always a visit worth!

Hampstead heath is good place to go for walk..swim in their natural pond's and Parliament hill fields lido situated on the heath nearest overground train is Gospel Oak and Kentish tube underground is a ten minutes walk Their is one of the best outdoor swimming pool in London and bost an excellent cafe .. .. You'll love it

Huge expansive forest/grassland - you can walk around here for hours.

Just stunning! This park is the greatest spot for those who love nature. You can recharge, forget about everything and get far away from the daily routine and city fuss just by walking around the green paths and breathing. It s majestic!

Nice during the day but avoid at night not dangerous at night but a lot of men around

Very well maintained. Lots of bins, like being in the countryside in the middle of London. No signs/maps to be seen... Easy to get lost!

Great place for walks and picnics in summer. Great views, a lot of people with dogs. Some paths are a bit muddy, so worth wearing proper shoes when it's wet.

Different types of duck all the time and you can feed them grass.

Great place to walk and sit, even under the Clouds, great views and Kenwood Gallery and Cafe/Bar.

Nice place to be any time ( I never been there during the rain...), clean, staff always around, mainly at Parliament place. Many people but not crowded.

It is a lovely area full of nature, it is a great place to take your kids as it has many parks and open space.

Very nice place especially in summer time I love it...

Amazing park on a beautiful day. Nice lakes and nice view points on top of the hill.

Lovely but busy green space that seemingly goes on forever. There are three public ponds. A women only, men only and mixed/family pond. There is limited locker space at each pond and entrance is only via the dedicated points, not the banks. There is a small fee for using the ponds, but they have been known to let it slide if you don't have any cash with you, just make sure you bring some next time. Excellent view from parliament hill, just don't expect to see parliament from it. The Heath can be hilly in locations so plan accordingly with those less able.

What can be better than a walk on Hampstead Heath on a frosty morning. Brilliant

Massive park near the middle of London. Great for a picnic or just a walk on a nice day. Close enough to shops, pubs etc

Good place to walk ride run or walk your dogs dogs around bring a map this park woodland is large area place I would advise to bring a map or use phone map app to help you get your bearings
Be prepared to get lost .
Kenwood House is located inside
You also have 3 or more swimming lakes
Mini zoo a place to get tea coffee and a slice of cake so much to see and do

Hampstead Heath is a lovely place to connect with nature and have space to get away from the concrete streets of London.

Enchanted woods. Lovely walk in the gardens. Very nice Cafe to complement. One of my favorite spots in London.

It's a very nice place to visit and loads of space but just as many people and I mean everywhere you go is someone which is kinda rubbish if you want peace and quiet without being stared at every 5 minutes but for a large area to sit or walk a pet it's perfect..
It's worth a look and maybe when I went was just busy but I think it's one of the only open spaces in the area so be aware

Love hampstead heath! It's a beautiful park with large and varied landscapes. Great for a picnic and meeting with friends! Deffinately recommend!

Great place to relax !! Or have fun in the cruising area

Loev the place and the peaceful vibe.
Amazing views and wonderful nature.

Beautiful park it doesn't seem to be in london. One of my favourite places in london to relax and walking among nature

Lots to explore. And great for kids to run around and climb. More natural than the other parks, with lots of wooded areas.

Good views along with other interesting opportunities to enjoy time outdoors.

Just a great place with nice balance of wilderness, hills, a great house, restaurant, ponds, running track, tennis courts and lido.

Love that there are places in this park where you wouldn't believe that you're still in London.

Men s pond in spring and summer on good days is packed with fun-filled guys

wander freely in a huge wonderful park with views over London

Lovely old bandstand at Holders Hill, with live concerts and a cafe.

Beautiful place with spectacular views. Dog friendly

The heath is a lovely way to have a bit of a refresh from the hectic city of London, and a very nice place to spend some time with the family. If you have a camera, make sure to bring it with you because there will definitely be some nice photography opportunities.
Just bare in mind that the heath is full of plants so for those who suffer from hay fever(I suffer from it quite a lot at this time of year) you should take an anti allergy pill or something before you go.

Beautiful scenery for long walks and great play area for kids with paddling pool

One of the most beautiful and intriguing places in London. Steeped in history. Very hilly, difficult to park.

Amazing place! The pergola is really worth visiting!

It's a beautiful wide open space with lovely fields to walk threw with the family there is wild life to see horses lovely wild flowers and living in London there isn't many places untouched like this one

Hampstead Heath is in my opinion, the absolute best place to run in London. It simply has everything, trails, beautiful buildings, a garden, parkland, hills and lakes. Whilst Richmond Park may be the larger park, Hampstead Heath is without a doubt the best for running and exploring (not to mention far more central). Was cool to see one of the Marvel films being shot there this past weekend!

Amazing relaxing place contemplating London!
Parliament Hill is a must. But the whole place feels amazing and is very well looked after. It is more a forest with open lawns and ponds, than a park as compared to Hyde Park.

Parliament Hill is more beautiful by night, but the park itselt has no lighting, so I wouldn't advise anybody to go there alone. Although, the police do drive through the park periodically.

Lovely place peaceful and quiet, just what's needed after a long nights work

Loved the paintings in Kenwood House and the chilled out atmosphere if the heath.

What can I say..great walks, views and Kenwood House.

Contender for best park in town, great bathhouse, lake good for dipping, amazing secret garden.

Nice city park, busy on summer weekends with young crowds bbqing

Great place to enjoy some fresh air and green areas with friends and family.

Every time I come here I fall in love with this place all over again, the birds, the whistling wind in the leaves, feeling like you're lost deep in a forest, the flower gardens, the views... it's a totally different experience of London

The most beautiful park in London. In many areas you feel you're in the middle of the country side when in fact you're in the middle of the city. Almost empty during week days yet busy over the weekend.

Incredibly beautiful Park with an amazing view from parliament hill. The cafe is very nice to eat at with delicious Italian food.

Very quite area and too many places to discover. Selection of woods, hills, parks and historical places in one place! Absolutely fantastic!

Lovely piece of the countryside in the midst of London
