Overview

Hampstead is “London’s Favourite Village” and characterised by its iconic landmarks, natural heathland, historic homes, streets & vibrant cafe culture.

Just 3 miles from the city centre, Hampstead is one of the most beautiful parts of London & one that fully retains its village origins. Walking around the narrow lanes & vast open spaces, it's easy to forget you're in London at all.

Long favoured writers & artists, it's also home to many of the most famous celebrities in the world, you never know who you might bump into.

We will explore the quaint alleyways and splendid Georgian houses whilst learning something of the history and culture of Hampstead village and of some of the famous figures who lived and died here.

See the homes of Keats, George Orwell, Robert Louise Stephenson, Daphne du Maurier, John Constable & filming locations for After Life (Ricky Gervais lives nearby) & inspirations for Dracula, Mary Poppins plus the best view of London from Hampstead Heath.
