Hampstead Heath

What a beautiful green space in the heart of London, it was a gorgeous day so that made it perfect. We even managed to spot the parakeets, and they are so pretty. Lots of signs telling what wildlufe you can look out for, lakes, swimming lakes as well, which we really impressed with.

Hampstead Heath is one of London’s most enchanting green spaces — a sprawling natural haven that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city. Its mix of open meadows, ancient woodlands, and shimmering ponds creates a perfect setting for both adventure and relaxation. Swimming in the Heath’s famous bathing ponds or the outdoor lido is a unique London experience, while the panoramic view from Parliament Hill offers one of the city’s most iconic skylines. Whether you’re hiking through wooded trails or watching the seasons change across its fields, the Heath captures the beauty of untamed nature right in the heart of North London. Beyond its natural charm, Hampstead Heath offers plenty of cultural and leisurely delights. Kenwood House, with its elegant architecture and impressive art collection, adds a touch of history and refinement, while Golders Hill Park’s small zoo provides a family-friendly surprise. The Heath’s open fields are perfect for picnics, casual sports, or simply unwinding under the trees. There’s a laid-back, bohemian energy that attracts artists, runners, and dreamers alike — making it not just a park, but a vibrant reflection of London’s soul.

Hampstead Heath is always my first choice of parks in London. Compared with Hyde Park and Regent Park (which also have stunning views and atmosphere) in the downtown area, where it would inevitably be too crowded with tourists, Hampstead Heath has more room for you to relax and engage with wild breezes. I have visited this park many times over almost two years, and every time I visit, it can always present me with something new. Since it’s a really large park and some areas may remain underdeveloped, it’s necessary to bring a suitable amount of water and other supplies to ensure you won’t be disturbed by thirst and battery-life panic. It’s always a good idea to wear hiking boots and be careful with the holes and mud pits.

Hampstead Heath is the best park in London (if you can even call it a park). It’s so big that you can pretty much find a quiet spot for yourself and your dog any time, even on weekends, when it gets a bit busy on the main paths. It’s absolutely gorgeous, especially in autumn. The only green space you’ll ever need.

Such a gorgeous and peaceful park! We enjoyed a lovely family picnic here and it’s definitely the best park in London. The pergola is one of its best kept secrets and the peaceful and serene atmosphere feels as though it isn’t even in London. The deers were a great surprise for the kids and it was the highlight of the whole day. There’s convenient transport links and nearby entrances make visiting a breeze. We’ll definitely be back, and I can’t wait!
