HIKE SUMMARY
If you can‘t make it out of the city on your weekend but still need that dose of fresh air and catharsis, there is a number of places within London you can go: Hampstead Heath is one. This park has been a favourite of Londoners for centuries thanks to the famous open-air swimming at Hampstead Ponds (featuring one of London’s few women-only public spaces). The views from Parliament Hill are second-to-none any day of the year – it’s a great place for a picnic with a view. I particularly like this walk after work, with so many great places to eat morning, noon and night, Hampstead is great for dinner; and the sunsets from the Heath are insane. This adventure makes the journey on the Northern Line worth it, I promise!
