DAY 51: Hampstead Sunday

Weather is great these days. My mother thinks I was overreacting over the freezing cold past days.   

And, it´s not raining! (thanks God!)

We decided to stay in Hampstead (we were so tired from the day before...).

Started on the Heath, and went to the Well Walk and to the Hampstead Museum in Burgh House. 

The neighbourhood is so cozy, so beatiful (I love it, and I love living here!).

The Burgh House, has a nice garden with a Cafe where you can have some tea seated in hidden tables along the garden. the museum shows you the story of this area. In the shop I bought some organic tea, but has very nice mugs too.

Continued walking to Spaniards Road, the park is full of trees and hidden houses, and from some spots in the road you can see the London skyline.

The old Spaniards Inn (with Romantics such as Keats, or Byron among its clients) stands in a corner of the street.

I liked this house on Well Walk

Kenwood House


I love parks and gardens. But these gardens are so beatiful, specially in this sunny Sunday afternoon!
It was full of families and children playing.

Kenwood House,  from 1.616 and remodeled  in 1764 where you can visit its rooms, some with original wall coverings. In the first floor a miniature collection with gorgeous brouches and women shoes buckles.

If you´re a fan of Notthin Hill movie, you can see where Julia and Hugh filmed.

But my favorite part was imagining I was wearing one of those incredible dreeses and walking through the park or painting under the trees, like in XVIII century.

Great place, you should visit it.

Way back home by Parliament Hill

We were tired, I tried to take a shortcut through the heath, ended up in Parliament Hill park.

I mean it: English parks are amazing!
