Back by popular demand! Rachel will be guiding us on a walk in Hampstead village. Starting at Hampstead Tube we will go North uphill to Holly Mount then downhill to discover blue plaques (and pink) and historical people (George Romney, Ridley Scott, Marie Stopes, Henrietta Barnett) and places and buildings (Fenton House, Flask Walk), ending on Heath Street near Hampstead tube with an optional stop for refreshments in a pub.
Discover the fascinating and varied history of Hampstead village. The street names evoke memories of the healthy air and spa waters which long ago attracted artists and writers such as Constable, Galsworthy and du Maurier. Many performers including Kay Kendall and Anton Walbrook are buried in the churchyard of St Johns and today the area is still a haven for creativity with a theatre in the disused workhouse mortuary and a cinema in the old drill hall.
