What to expect

  • THE HIKE

    The hike will cover 8km over 2 hours over some interesting terrain, led by one of our MLA hosts who knows the area very well and has vetted the route. While the path can get muddy when it rains, there are route alternatives that are paved. We’ll ensure to always stick with the safest and most comfortable routes.

  • THE ROUTE

    The MLA approved, hand-curated route will wind around some interesting terrain around the popular Hampstead Heath. The route will include some mild climbs and bushy areas full of wildlife. Expect to explore some beautiful ancient woodlands that offer some views of the city as well as open spaces, swimming ponds, gardens, and a pergola.

  • THE AREA

    Hampstead Heath is 800-acres of woodland and meadows, with spectacular views and a rich history. It inspired C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and John Constable's final paintings, and has been a cherished escape for Londoners for over 200 years. There is an array of wildlife, including over 180 bird species, and various attractions around the Heath like the swimming ponds, fishing areas, sports fields, pubs, and restaurants.

  • THE SWIM

    The majority of the ponds on Hampstead Heath are fed by the headwater springs of the River Fleet. Three of the main ponds are now large freshwater bathing/swimming ponds: two designated single sex and one for mixed bathing (Hampstead no. 3). We will be using the mixed bathing pond to be inclusive to everyone. There are lifeguards and changing rooms on site.
