Kenwood House

Kenwood House: An historic home within the surroundings of Hampstead Heath

Set in the stunning surroundings of Hampstead Heath, a London park of nearly 800 acres, Kenwood House is a sight to behold. Owned by English Heritage, the large home was remodelled in the 18th century and bought by brewing magnate Edward Cecil Guinness, first Earl of Iveagh, in 1925. He bequeathed the house and estate to the nation, along with some of his private art collection. A visit to Kenwood House enables the chance to see paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Turner, Reynolds and Gainsborough. Meanwhile, the expansive garden features an ornamental flower garden, landscaped park and a walled garden. Keen film fans might also recognise Kenwood House in the movie Notting Hill. While in Hampstead Heath, a walk to Parliament Hill provides stunning views of London as it is one of the highest points in the capital, while brave souls can head for an outdoor swim at the unheated Parliament Hill Lido and Highgate Ponds.
