Itinerary
We will pass through picturesque lanes and alleys to this beautiful church which is also the resting place to some prominent historical figures and the location of an unforgettable moment in Dracula.
A beautiful Georgian house that once was home to a wealthy merchant and now a museum surrounded by beautiful gardens.
This eccentric looking house was once the home to an eccentric naval officer who was an inspiration for a character in Mary Poppins!
We will explore the beautiful Georgian streets and visit the homes of some of historical figures. Bring a camera as this tour is Instagram Central.
Here we will find the health giving well that led to the birth of modern Hampstead and was also the home to one of the great painters.
Once the home to Dr. William Gibbons who encouraged visitors to Hampstead in the 1720's when it was something of a Spa resort and people came to drink its health giving waters.
Erno Goldfinger's innovative 1939 Modernist house is now a museum. Though many don't think it fits in with the surroundings, it is undoubtedly of a design we all became familiar with decades later. And yes, it is that Goldfinger!

We will see just a little of this vast open space in North London
See the home of the one of great romantic poets, John Keats.
