Hampstead

This past weekend we had the most beautiful weather in London (high 70's and sunny).  It is now back to being a bit more cold and cloudy, but it was great while it lasted!  On the last day it was predicted to be warm we headed 40 minutes north to Hampstead.  After exiting the tube both Alex and I commented how this area looked and felt like a little village and further from the city than it actually is.  Hampstead has one of the largest and wildest green spaces in London and we spent the afternoon wandering around the streets and exploring all the small details. 

We spent a bit of time walking through Hampstead Heath.  This park covers almost 800 acres!  We walked up to Parliament Hill Viewpoint, which is a large hill overlooking the city (very similar to Primrose Hill we saw a couple weeks ago). It was a nice area to relax and enjoy the view.

We ended our afternoon by grabbing a beer at The Holly Bush, a traditional 18th-century pub.
