Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath is 790 acres of wild, hilly parkland offering some of the best walks in London. Dogs love the varied terrain including meadows, ancient woodlands, and ponds. **Off-Leash Paradise:** Most of the Heath allows dogs off-leash, making it a favorite among London dog owners. The Parliament Hill area offers spectacular views of the city skyline. **Swimming Options:** There are designated dog swimming areas at the mixed bathing pond (dogs allowed in certain sections). The Highgate Men's and Ladies' ponds don't allow dogs. **Local Tips:** Bring towels if your dog likes water - there are plenty of muddy puddles and streams! Several pubs nearby welcome muddy dogs.
