Kenwood is a great place to visit! You can have a walk through the woods, meet a friend for coffee or lunch in the beautiful Brew House garden, and then go in to the House to look at the paintings on the walls. Entry is free, it always has been! The views are stunning, the house is spectacular, you can easily extend your walk onto Hampstead Heath and get your daily exercise. That way you get to enjoy a mixed habitat of woodland and open spaces, plus a bit of culture and a sit down. Perfect!
