KENWOOD HOUSE GARDENS, HAMPSTEAD HEATH, LONDON

I'm going to show you a part of one of my favourite walk in London. It is in somewhere in Hampstead Heath. It is set in tranquil parkland with panoramic views over London. Brewing magnate, Edward Cecil Guinness, first Earl of Iveagh, bought Kenwood House in 1925. Thanks to him, you can admire masterpieces by Rembrandt, Turner, Reynolds, Gainsborough and Vermeer. Admire the Suffolk Collection, with its magnificent full-length Elizabethan portraits and stunning costume details. Or take a turn outside, in parkland influenced by the great English landscape gardener, Humphry Repton. There are also lakeside walks and meandering woodland paths to explore and enjoy. This is where that false bridge is.
