Lovely & quite large park with 6 tennis courts, ornamental lakes, & a recently installed boules pitch. Lauderdale house has a cafe & sometimes hosts exhibitions. Fine views over London from the upper paths & generally a tranquil oasis in north London. Nearest tube Archway & either walk up Highgate hill about 15 mins or take bus 210 or 271 up the hill.
Uniquely clean, beautiful with designated BBQ facilities. I personally settle down there!
A beautiful park which is both peaceful and tranquil.
It is located just off Highgate making it a secluded spot which makes it perfect for anyone who is looking to have some personal space to gather their thoughts.
Yea loverly little park cafe in Lauderdale house do nice cake cappuccino very good. Good place to stop after seeing all the dead people next door.
Very nice, especially when I have just cut the grass
totally lovely place had lovely banshees with loads of lovely people and there's a lovely drugs getting sold next to the lovely duck pond
Always a great visit. Maybe to many people lighting up a BBQ..
One of London's hidden gems - nicely laid out and something for everyone from dog walkers to kids to picnickers to those visiting the arts events at Lauderdale House. Highgate Cemetery is next door and well worth a visit to see the graves of famous people from Karl Marx to Douglas Adams
Lovely layout.great work out on the legs being on a hill.Great spots to relax plenty of seating
This park is beautiful. Clean, not too busy, and wonderful ! Loved it^^
So beautiful! The park is separated in grassy area's, lakes and a playground, all on sloping grounds.
Very well maintained hilly park with ponds and streams
Hidden gem! Don't tell too many people about it (ooops... too late)
Update your opening times I arrived to see closed gates APPALLING!!!!!!

Nice park - let's you BBQ but a bit up/down and a flat ground would be better for ball games. Parking also an issue.
one of the best parks we have been too. We had a lovely Cyprus style BBQ here. Family loved it. Amazing. will come again. Enjoyed the weather too
This park revised its opening hours at end of February and is now open to 18:00.
Nice little park. Very well maintained. Worth a stop on a hot day
Love this park mainly because you can barbecue here. On a sunny Sunday a lot of people come here to enjoy cooking outside.
The park also has some lovely gardens and some wilder areas around the ponds so wonderfully varied scenery for a walk or explore
A beautiful walk in a real quiet and relaxing site. There is also a nice cafe
One of my favourite local parks, best in the early hours when it's peaceful and fairly empty.
Hoping to have an art exhibition in the wonderful gallery space at Lauderdale House, Waterlow Park in summer 2021! It also has a great cafe with outside - aswell as inside - seating. The park has 2 ponds, children's park and tennis courts. A bit of a steep hill to walk up to Lauderdale House and up to Highgate Shopping area. But can catch the 210 bus from near Archway up to Lauderdale House and the park if you can't manage the steep hill!
I absolutely love this park, I have been a frequent visitor in the last thirty years
I feel so privileged to have it on my doorstep!
I walk everyday through Waterlow Park, and everyday it s different. The light, the trees, the flowers. It s beautiful and there s a spot in which you can see the whole city
Popped in to visit cafe. Great coffee & cakes service however a bit slow. Friendly staff.
I grew up in the Whittington hospital and this park for me has so many childhood memories. It was the very first park I visited with my mum, dad and brother and playtime here was always so much fun. Fast forwarding 30+ years and I still visit on a regular bases and each time I do, fond memories come rushing through my head. The park itself is beautiful with lots of greenery to explore, a lot of seating areas to rest, has a children's play area and various sporting areas such as a tennis court and nice ponds where you will find lots of ducks swimming. It's quite a big park with a few mini garden areas but not hard to get lost as you will always find many routes which lead you back to where you remember. My favourite time to visit is in the evening just after sunset because it's just a gorgeous view of everything and will give you that peaceful relaxing sensation of joy.
A great park which is available for hire in segmented areas with some parts ok for BBQ s etc. Check before..
Well maintained little park with good views of London
Simply the best park in London. Food in Lauderdale House is lovely.
A very attractive London Park and Lauderdale house is lovely. However the playground is not the best, there is little equipment and it's a bit boring but it's a great place to read a book and relax or have a picnic.
Such a lovely park. The view of London while sitting on the bench is so lovely !
Nice local park fairly close to Hampstead Heath. Massively underrated view of London!
This is a good park for a walk about. There is a cafe that has a few options but does them really well
One of the least known beautiful tranquil parks in North London. A 11 hectare Park in the SE of Highgate. It's splendid here. A peaceful place for a walk and relaxation. The nearest underground is Archway and upper Holloway. The Highgate More
A well looked after park. Lots of benches to sit and each lunch on a warm day.
A nice city park with plenty of open space, trees and gardens. Be a little aware though that Highgate is on a fairly steep hill and much of this park is on different levels, so wheelchair users might find it hard going and the very elderly might have to take the routes gently.
A lush green park with beautiful views over the city
Amazing park, just next to one of the best cemetery in London (Highgate Cemetery)
Very pretty green spot, never seems to get too crowded so a good place to lounge on summer days. There's a cafeteria here also, though I think the food & drinks are a bit pricey so best to bring your own
Always a lovely park. An open space for kids to ride bikes or play ball and a quieter back space between the trees and squirrels. Good cafe and a playground to keep the kids entertained
A lovely little park. Great to take little ones to.
Our first trip to the theatre in six months was very much appreciated
Lovely place to get away in peace. And a bird sanctuary. Lauderdale house is good too.
Great park, well kept,clean and nice to chill in during summer
One of my favourite parks - compact yet interesting. Good for some hill running, ponds, kids play area, tennis courts, good views of London and has good coffee shops and pubs nearby in Highgate.
I love this park ,but the people using it for barbecues are not respectable and leave the park in a terrible state .
Really nice park with some lovely period landmarks and other features. Quite hilly though (I guess it would be, considering where it is), so not a great place for a relaxing walk, more a stomp up some stairs... Great views though
Good place, standards could be a bit better if dog owners picked there dogs poo! Up more often.
Always keen to go for walks here as much as possible. The park is well maintained quite relaxed. Lots of parks benches dedicated to people from the area and people who also enjoyed the park. Lauderdale House is also in the park and recently saw some jazz by Camden Music Hub held there. The Duke's Head across the road is always a great place to visit after a stroll in the park!
Beautifully maintained park with far too many drug dealers for my tastes.
A small park, but not without the space to play, to have a picnic, or to sit on the shore of the small lake inside. When the weather is fine, it is a pleasure to sit on the many benches that are there to find some relaxation.
My favourite park in London. It's full of beautiful corners, interesting plants and animals, but it's not as busy as London's major parks.
Most beautiful park in London with great views of the city. Many rare trees planted too.
This is where I work as a park inspector, lovely place to chill out
I don't visit Waterlow Park as much as I should. The last time must have been at least eighteen months ago. It's not particularly large but it *is* interesting and picturesque... which, I guess, is what parks should be!
Such a beautiful park. Great cafe at Lauderdale house
Beautiful park, the only downside is that it's closed after dark, so be aware!
