Useful information
Description
Hampstead Heath was part of the grounds of Heath House Manor and was used by 18C washerwomen, who hung their clothes out there to dry. It has become a popular place for entertainment, especially during its large fairs, and its ponds and public parks attract swimmers and walkers. There are also a few cottages, Victorian houses and mythical pubs, such as the Bull and Bush, where Joshua Reynolds and Gainsborough used to drink, and the elegant Kenwood House.
