Food Scene
There are few pizza restaurants in London that maintain such a high calibre. Fortunately for us, Sacro Coure is only 5 minutes walk from the house! Ingredients from Italy, as well as the staff, mean this is an all round delight. We've tried all the (veggie) options and they've always been amazing!

Drinks & Nightlife
Great in conjunction with a visit to the best pizza place in London (just across the road!). Although The Whippet Inn isn't the closest pub to the house it's certainly worth the extra 50 metres to get there! Well decorated and lit, this is a great place to have a few drinks or maybe enjoy a hearty meal.

Most people who come to London have heard of Camden. A melting pot of culture, you can find everything you could need here. From London memorabilia and alternative pubs to hand crafted delights in the market and fine dinning. It's a very easy journey from the house, just one short train ride!

Parks & Nature
A great, local park to stroll around and enjoy nature on your doorstep. There are also tennis courts, a pitch and putt course, a cafe (for food and drinks), a playground and a petting zoo for those with younger children. Great for its proximity to the house!

A (slightly) hidden gem! Right next door to the famous Hampstead Heath this is a lesser visited treasure! This is how London looked centuries ago! With a few modern additions including a beautiful pagoda and garden walks. It's picturesque and well worth a visit.
