Historical version 11 of Hampstead Heath (view current version)
A large - nearly 800 acres - park in the Hampstead area of North London, including Parliament Hill and Kenwood House. The park has 25 ponds, woodland and hedgerows home to a number of species. People often go to the Heath to fly kites.
Someone commented on this page: "It is sadly not safe after dark (is any London park?)."
"It is largely unkempt with long grass.": Hampstead Heath is not all gardens and playing fields - it is a heath. As such, it isn't immaculate lawns but woodlands and meadows.
