This park is one of my favourite running spots. Various terrain, beautiful nature and breathtaking views. The best time to come there is around 9ish morning in the summer, when is not that many people there and you can hear chirping crickets and smell fresh grass.
Beautiful park with lots of dog owners and a swimming pond. Great view of the city on top of the hill.
Great views and a very relaxing place. Also, a great place to fly a kyte.
Beautiful day about watching the cross country running. Lovely park.
Nice landscape with parks around and ponds. A good place overall for outdoor fun and activities.
Gorgeous park, great place for a long walk surrounded by some great pubs!
One of the best gardens in London, the view is stunning where you can see london from a high place. It's a hidden gem
Gorgeous on a warm Saturday morning, dogs, people, coffee - chilled and very community focussed. Nice way to start a weekend.
This delightful place holds the record for being the largest stretch of open countryside in any city on the planet. Bring your family, your dog and a picnic and come visit sometime, you won't be disappointed.
Unless you live close by it is not an essential visit, especially as it's so large you'd need a few trips to appreciate it. Otherwise it is a lovely green space.
Really nice walk and open space, easy to get to by train, worth a looks see.
Favourite spot in London! Swimming in the ponds, walking up hills to view London, nearby lovely cafes, dogs everwhere and lots of green to wander around. I love it!
If you need a moment to escape the busy city Hampatead Park is the place to go. There are plenty of open fields, dogs running and playing, and people swimming in the lakes. Very different from any park in central London. Feels a bit like you are seeing the countryside. Best part is, the park is also located near plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops. Well worth the visit and thrbhalf hour travel on the tube.
Hampstead Heath is on of the nicest places in London to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living, very dog friendly.
Walking, dog walking, picnicking; an important green lung for north London
A wonderful outdoor place to explore full of different types of areas, very wild or more well-kept.
It's a beautiful Park you can see all the animals and that it's very good for kids that got playground that kids can go on slides and all of that
Walk here at least once a week through meadows, woodland and around ponds in all seasons. Never tire of it. Plenty of seats in shade and sunshine to enjoy the wonderful views.
Hampstead heath is a great place for a walk..a long walk is possible too. There are all sorts of facilities. Swimming ponds, mixed or individual. There is a lovely cafe, Kenwood house and some beautiful London views.
A beautiful, peaceful place for all to enjoy and forget the stresses and strains of city living for a while.
We visited for a picnic today while the sun was out. There are some beautiful wild landscapes that suited us perfectly
The best bit of green in London.....from child to adult still love it.....
Best place in North London for walks and running. Hilly and wild in places. Love, love, love.
I go swimming at the ladies only pond at Hampstead Heath all through the summer, and it really is a SANCTUARY. Bit of a trek from the nearest station but that is half the fun!
Lovely place to have a great walk, have a picnic, sit and read book. I could say that this one is one of my favourite places in London!
Just go there and walk wherever you want
London's large west end park and very popular with tourists
There is no other place like the Heath in the London for me, it is always tranquil and beautiful and always worth a whole days visit if you can.
Hampstead Park is located in North London. You can get there on the Overground (Hampstead Heath Station). It is an enormous, well-tended park. In summer people go there to have a picnic or even for a swim! Due to the limited amount of open swimming pools in London this is a great option during hot summers. There is one bathing pond for both men and women and another pond which is mixed. It is a different, fun experience one must not miss.
Beautiful views of the city, yet you find a piece of peace in the ever so busy London.
Lovely been celebrating my friend's birthday at a picnic in the park... Wonderful!
Possibly the best park in any big city. Less famous than Central Park, but much nicer. Awesome views of the entire city. Lots of peaceful nooks. Don't miss Kenwood House and the summer concerts are an experience worth trying at least once.
Biggest park and wilderness in the heart of the city.
What a lovely hidden gem!! We went to the lady only lido at hamstead heath and it was fantastic! It was hard to find but we used maps. It was a roasting day so we looked out for people in swimwear and found it eventually.
Despite the very hot day the water was cold in the pond.t I didnt use the showers or changing rooms so cant comment on that.
We took snacks and wine with us but got told off for taking alcohol in by a steward.
The atmosphere was good very relaxed as all women. There were no kids so was peaceful and quiet.
VERY crowded. The bins seem to be cleaned on Sundays and it smells like death. Nice if you are nowhere near a bin in a secluded spot. Ladies/ mixed Swimming ponds not worth waiting for but apparently men's is ok.
Great family day out - play area and beautiful landscape perfect for relaxing walk as well as exercise. Not that many food options and the few present are also pricey so you're better off bringing your own picnic.
One of the most amazing places in North West London. You must go!
One of the most relaxing places you can visit in London.
Plenty of space to do your own leisure activity and to walk your dog. A variety of wild life and foliage.
One of the best parks in London! :) You do forget that you are in London :D
Brilliant park. The mixed swimming ponds are a great spot on a hot day!
Beautiful countryside park with swimming in the ponds. The best park in London imo, in spite of the many many many annoying little dogs. It's a personal bias but they're a plague here because it's a posh area. ;)
Beautiful park to get lost in. So many different areas and things to see and do.
What can I say? It is absolutely brilliant especially at this time of year.
Wonderful wooded area. Very big swimming lakes. Lovely views of London!!
Very busy day due to the excellent sunny weather. Lots of families having Picnics Great afternoon.
I love scenic, places and this walk was so nice, on a fine day out.
Obviously! It is glorious.
Ducks and swans; dogs chasing sticks and running into the water; climbing trees; swimming; building dens... A rare adventure through nature for urban kids, and adults!
Beautiful spot for a walk to escape the busy city. Beautiful views at the top.
Wonderful place for a stroll or walking you dog(s) nice and open with lots of cafes, restaurants and bars near by.
Hampstead Heath is a large hilly urban space, run by the Corporation of London. It has cycling paths, swimming ponds, fishing ponds, a running track, and plenty of open spaces to enjoy. Also incorporated is Kenwood House with its protected views of London.
Love the lake, great family place, lots of green to the eyes to see. Nice playground area & an athlete track too
Lovely park for a nice walk and to feel like being outside of London. Nice ponds for a swim
Great day out with the kids. Good picnic spots too. Just remember to throw your rubbish away in the bin.
Had a nice fee hours walking over the heath a nice sunny day.Good transport links
Wonderful open Space with fabulous views over London
