Walks on Hampstead Heath

Just under four miles from central London, Hampstead Heath is a sprawling 800-acre park offering stunning views, woodlands, meadows, and historical significance. Inspired C.S. Lewis, painted by Constable, and enjoyed by Londoners for over 200 years, it’s perfect for a peaceful stroll, a kite-flying session on Parliament Hill, or a swim in the iconic ponds.

The Heath is open 24 hours, and easy to reach by Overground or Northern Line. After exploring, enjoy a pint or Sunday roast at a nearby pub. Visit our fan site for more details on the Heath’s history, places to eat, and transport options

London in 48 Hours

London is one of the world’s most exciting cities - packed with centuries of history, vibrant culture, and more things to see and do than you could fit into a lifetime. But if you’ve only got 48 hours, you can still get a real taste of what makes the city special. From royal landmarks and grand museums to food markets, theatre shows, and riverside walks, a short visit can feel surprisingly full. London is easy to get around thanks to its excellent public transport, and its top sights are often closer together than you'd think.

This fast-paced itinerary blends iconic must-sees with local gems. You'll stand where kings and queens once ruled, eat in markets buzzing with global flavours, and stroll streets that have inspired everything from Shakespeare to Harry Potter. With a little planning and a comfortable pair of shoes, you can enjoy sweeping views from a rooftop, dive into British culture, and wrap it all up with a West End show. It’s a crash course in what makes London unforgettable - and a perfect intro for first-time visitors
