Lovely place for a walk. Lots of dog walkers but not any dog mess. Great to get away from things.

Best park in London - feels a little like a hilly forest.

One of best places in London to go for a walk ...even better covered in snow ! Pricelesd

Very big and quiet park for run or walk. Nice for the good weather with the private ponds to take a dive.

This wonderful green space is the best part of living in North London. Such a great place to wander around and walk the dog.

A whole step away from the busy life... a must see, great for dogs!

Fantastic nature, great walks. People relaxung with their dogs

Always take the dog here to the pond he loves it. Large areas and most people aren't litter bugs so it's clean

Kenwood house and gardens absolutely beautiful, art lovers have to pop into the historical home. The garden and forest area great for exploring and just getting away

Just simply a lovely park to daydream in and chill.

Charming & to die for community, just outside London. Shopping has much to offer but the green spaces are expansive & beautiful. Where else can you go swimming in A London Burb?

This is our local park. Life would be very tray without large expanses of parkland such as this one. London is lucky to have such spaces.

VIsited here from Atlanta, GA, USA to see an American friend living in Hampstead. We wouldn't have really known about Hampstead Heath if she hadn't taken us on a hike through here. Lovely park and there was a spot with an amazing view of London.

Friendly people and beautiful area. One of the few places in london I can come to for fresh air and good natural photography

A little crowded when hot and sunny but plenty of shady nooks and crannies to spread a blanket and have a laze in the sun (or shade, my personal preference). Lush, green, lots of friendly dogs and within 7 minutes walking distance from Hampstead Heath Station. Glorious!

Great place for a wonder around. Especially if you have a dog

Big forest in Central London, a good way to forget you are in the city.

Is calm park and with fresh air is good for walk and running for sports.

Hampstead heath a real beautiful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnect with nature and self

One of my favourite parks in London.
Loads of routes to walk and explore, swimming ponds and Kenwood House!

Partying, chilling, walking or reading, can do it all here

Brought my family to the park for an outing, but we have left very upset and our evening was ruined. We were in the kitchen gardens when we saw a man, staring at us from a distance and felt threatened and worried (particularly for the safety of out 3 year old daughter who was playing with a tennis ball with her siblings) as the way he was staring was intimidating and unusual and we had no idea who he was. After several minutes he walked over to us and told us he was the head gardener and proceeded to lecture us about playing with our tennis ball in the gardens, saying things like he has spent a long time making the gardens pretty and we were ruining it. We were very taken aback and were upset as the way he spoke was very belittling and condescending. We said there are no signs about ball games outside the park and he replied saying we don t need signs when people should be using their common sense. We all feel we have been singled out and bullied because we do not fit the usual white upper class visitors to kenwood. There was no reason for him to stare at us, with intimidation and it was disrespectful for him to tell us we don t have common sense, when he could have politely told us not to play with the ball. Very upsetting

The water is fairly clear for the open swimming and the community attached to these sites are very intresting if you take the tine to talk to them.

Beautiful, scenic, peaceful, a breath of fresh air x

A bit of green in this urban jungle. Well worth a weekend walk.

The famous park from the movie Notthing Hill with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Great walks, good Sunday brunch. Spott the wild parrots

grown up round here and loved the park as a kid and now 30 odd years down the line my kids enjoy it just as we did when we were there are

I like the pond here. Only place where you can swim in London

Explore the Heath and Kenwood, with its trails and ancient woodland. A real delight for Londoner's and tourists alike.

The view of the city is amazing! Perfect for picnics!

A pleasant walk around this area, has ponds for swimming etc.Could do with a few more benches to sit on!

Really great to swim, it gets super busy on a hot day so go early and expect to wait, we wait 45mins but very worth it, lovely memorable experience, not for young kids though as you need to be a good swimmer. There is changing rooms and toilets but no lockers so don't take to much valuable stuff, nothing was taken but always a worry when your leaving stuff alone. Really really great time, and so refreshing

Amazing place to spend a sunny afternoon with friends and family

My favourite Park in London, what else to say? Get in there and it does feel you're far away from the city. Just for you to get up the Parliament Hill and have an amazing view of London.

Beautiful location to enjoy with yourself or as a group from the ponds, Kenwood House, the forests and the trails it's a great escape from the bustle of City life.

Great open space in the heart of London with excellent views.

London's largest green space. Great for walks, swimming in the ponds, running and cycling. Beautiful panoramic views of London from Parliament Hill.

Love Hampstead Heath. Like the walking, different atmosphere in London to North Staffs. Vibrant, love to visit.

Great pools. Early morning you can see ice birds during your swim. I prefer the mixed pool, because it's a bit secluded and feels more intimate. Apparently the lady's pool is prettiest because there are water lelies, but being a man I've never been there. In winter the mixed pool is not open and opening hours are limited so do check the website. I wish we had similar waters in Brussels. I always try to go there when I'm in London, even though it's a bit on the outskirts, even if temperatures are around freezing, no, especially then. Nothing beats a good swimmer's high!

A lovely place for a walk or a picnic to enjoy the sun!

It's a doggers paradise. George Michael used to dog here, so did Jonathan Ross's brother Paul Ross. God only knows what's going on in the bushes.

Hampstead Heath not only has beautiful views, incredible sights and amazing scenery it has a lido and 3 amazing outdoor swimming ponds that are amazing on summers day.

Good food but need to coordinate meat plus vegetables at the same time

Gorgeous green with a lovely view of the city of London.

Lovely like being in the countryside when you are in central London. Fab views too.

Wonderful outdoor space with many places to explore. keep your bearings, it is big and easy to get lost. Stick to the paths on your first visits!

Great place to get away from it all on a weekday. Pretty crowded on weekends. Great for dog owners and open water swimmers. The view from Parliament Hill is worth the climb

Lovely views, but recommend you visit with company/friend ....very good for people who prefer a little bit of a challenging walk, or good work out in the open air ....but not recommended for 'night' visits ....

One of the best park in London. The park is huge and nature. Grate place for running, walking, swimming, hiking, sunbathing, and relaxing.

Lovely area of heathland and wooded areas, ponds. Three coffee places in parkland if you count Golders green Park and lots more near train and tube stations.
