To put it simply, Hampstead Heath is magic. This beautiful, ancient heath is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Britain’s capital city. Head to the ladies' pond in summer for a refreshing dip or bundle up against the cold, pack a thermos full of hot choc and make your way there for a brisk winter walk. 

Enjoy the sunset from the summit of Parliament Hill—there's hardly a better place to do so in London. Grab a seat on a bench with some rosé and peep the best possible view of London’s skyline. 

Part of what makes London great is its numerous parks within the city. Within lots of these parks are the iconic lidos, one of which is this gem in Parliament Hill. Open all year round this outdoor pool is also kitted out with a sauna, making those winter swims all the more bearable. 

A true neighborhood gem, L'Antica Pizzeria serves neapolitan pizza just how we like it. The cheese is bubbling, the dough fresh from the wood fire, and the tomato sauce oozing with flavour. With so many toppings on the menu, you'll have to keep coming back for more.
