It’s really easy to explore London’s top attractions with Hampstead as your base. Hampstead Tube Station is on the Northern Line and a 14-minute journey will take you directly to lively Leicester Square. If you fancy sampling the high-life then why not travel 14 minutes to Green Park Tube Station and take afternoon tea at The Ritz? In 18 minutes you’ll be at St Paul’s Tube Station where you can admire the magnificent St Paul’s Cathedral. And you can get to Waterloo Tube Station in 19 minutes - here you’ll find the London Eye (which gives stunning views across the capital) and the fascinating London Aquarium.

If you decide to drive around Hampstead you can park in the C P Plus Car Park on Flask Walk. It’s really close to Hampstead Tube Station.

If you need a taxi to take you around the Hampstead area, West Hampstead Cars are located on the Finchley Road near Finchley Road Train Station.

Why not take a trip to trendy Camden Market? If you start at Highgate Tube Station it’s just a 2 mile walk and should only take 30 minutes. Or you could explore lively Kentish Town. This district of London is also just 30 minutes away on foot and is noted for its pubs and bars (and one of London's most famous nudist health clubs, Rio's!). It’s just a 40-minute walk to Baker Street where you can visit Madam Tussauds wax museum or the Sherlock Holmes Museum. And footie fans should definitely take the 60-minute walk to the world-famous Emirates Stadium (home of Premier League football club Arsenal). There’s a great museum here too!
