There is also plenty to do closer to home. Hampstead Heath is an oasis of peace just opposite this beautiful Bed & Breakfast, and is 800 acres of woods meadows and natural ponds with breathtaking views of the London skyline. Hill Garden, a formal Italian garden with its grand elevated pergola – a covered walkway with overhanging trellises - is open to the public and well worth a visit. Stop by the bandstand every Sunday afternoon in summer for live music. There are plenty of pubs, but a particularly cosy one is the Bull and Bush, which dates back to the time of Charles I. The B&B offers charming singles and doubles with shared or private bathroom. The rooms include coffee/tea making facilities, fresh linens and towels, a TV in the room, wireless internet, heating and cots for babies. Breakfast is, of course, included in the price of the room and there is luggage storage for those needing it. Children not requiring a bed sleep free (up to 2 years old).

The perfect mix of city and country! < hide more details
