Content: Hampstead is synonymous with sophisticated living and a cosmopolitan community. Of all the London villages, it has the most timeless appeal, thanks largely to its dense, 18th Century centre and the semi-rural feel lent by the adjacent Heath — 800 acres of open countryside and woodland that has long been London’s weekend playground. It’s a thriving area that attracts a constant stream of prospective buyers and renters. An array of private schools that is almost second to none is a huge draw for families, while having Hampstead Heath on the doorstep makes this a truly idyllic setting, just a short journey from the West End and the City.

Parks and green spaces Hampstead Heath is well known by Londoners for its beautiful expansive park land. There are 790 acres of meadows, woods, and gardens to explore and on a sunny day you can take a dip in the Hampstead Heath pond (separated into men’s, women’s and mixed). You can also visit the zoo, spot birds and other wildlife in their natural environments and or join the fitness buffs making use of the open running space.
