London parks: Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath is one of the ancients parks in London and one of the largest with 320 hectares. It is located six kilometres from central London, in the areas of Hampstead and Highgate. It has been carefully managed to integrate wildlife and people’s recreation. Habitats in the site include ancient woodlands, heathland, acid grassland, and a number of lakes, ponds and streams.
 
The Heath is one of the capitals most popular open spaces for its embracing ponds, its lido and for the amazing view of the London Skyline from the Parliament Hill, one of the highest points in London popular also for kite flyers lovers. It is the perfect place to go for a walk, picnic date or enjoy the nature, especially during the limited sunny and warm days of the British summer, where you can take a bath in the 3 open air public swimming pools or enjoy a Lakeside concert.
