Parks & Nature

Beautiful park to walk in with bathing ponds and lido. Climb to the top of Parliament Hill for amazing views. See historic Kenwood House and art gallery. And go to the amazing overgrown Pergola folly.

The Pergola is decidedly one of the most romantic hidden spaces in North London on the other side of Hampstead Heath. From within it is impossible to see or hear London and feels out in the countryside.

Great little coffee hut with the best gluten free salted caramel brownies. Just by Kentish Town tube station. If you want to support non-franchise, not pay an arm and a leg and need your coffee to go, this is the place for you. Super friendly too.
