Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath is an enormous expanse of greenery in north London. You can get there on the Northern Line and get out at Hampstead station, take a right up the hill and then the park is there for you to explore. You can get there by bus, many of which run from central London's Charing Cross Road. The North London Line, aka the Silverlink, stops at Hampstead Heath station and from there it's a couple of minutes' walk to the heath. This is where you'll find lots of natty little shops and bars to quench your thirst.

Kenwood House, on the heath, is an 18th Century building in the middle of the park. It has many paintings from the 17th/18th Centuries including works by Joshua Reynolds and Franz Hals. Entrance to the house is free and the most amazing room to wander around in is the Orangerie which has stunning views over the heath.

Incidentally, this is where some of the film Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant was shot. In a way this is slightly unfortunate as the number of tourists has increased beyond the house's capacity and the once tranquil atmosphere is shattered by hordes of tourists at the height of summer.

there are several parks around Notting Hill, not very big though, I would guess they would have filmed that scene in Hyde Park, only a short walk from Notting Hill, or it maybe Regents Park as mentioned earlier.
