Heath Life

Open spaces in London are thankfully not in short supply, but Hampstead Heath with its rolling hills, meadows, heath land, woods and ponds and its fantastic location commanding panoramic views over the urban sprawl of the metropolis, must take pride of place. Yes it’s a beautiful setting but its spirit has always been defined by the people that use it ; Londoners, their children, their dogs and and many a lucky visitor from out of town. What really interests me is the rich cultural life - the wonderful mix between the urban and the rural that so defines this space .
