About the area

Hampstead combines the vast green space of Hampstead Heath with an elegant village of cobbled streets. From Parliament Hill you get a free panoramic view of the London skyline, including the towers of the City. The white mansion of Kenwood House and nature that changes with the seasons are ideal for cinematic footage and portraits. It's the place to go when you want to shoot London's natural side at an unhurried pace, away from the busy centre.
