Hampstead Heath is a lasting remnant of London’s former countryside. It provides opportunities for quiet enjoyment and appreciation of the natural world. Its vast size makes it a unique, quiet, habitat rich space close to the centre of London.

The Heath also has a wide range of leisure facilities including an athletics track, tennis courts, a 60 m Lido, three natural bathing ponds, football and rugby pitches and a bowling green.

For young people there are seven play areas, a paddling pool and lots of amazing wild play opportunities.

By donating to the Hampstead Heath Charity, you can help us protect and look after this unique and special place so it can be enjoyed by future generations.
