"It is sadly not safe after dark (is any London park?)" -Like most London parks and indeed whole suburbs, the Heath may be a poor choice for women to visit alone after dark. But for men, runners in groups, etc, I do not believe Hampstead Heath is particularly dangerous. Primrose Hill is even more recommended for after dark running, being brightly lit, compact and with good visibility throughout. |
