Walk Times

Walk the Hampstead streets that fostered a stellar artistic community in the early 20^th century, absorbing refugees from Nazi terror. For some of the Bauhaus group the iconic Isokon building was home.

In the same streets, from a previous wave of German emigrés, Karl Marx lived and died. Continuing downhill you can pick out the majestic Roundhouse a vestige of the first feverish railway expansion.

Move on to enjoy the elegant streets, the chic shops and pavement cafés spilling out of Primrose Hill before climbing to that view, the protected view from the hill’s summit.

London stretches away far below. Spot the landmarks – Canary Wharf, St Pauls, Shard, London Eye. From here the city’s centre beckons, past the zoo into the sanctuary of Regent’s Park…

The lake’s many ducks splaying a surprise array of plumage. Through the circular rose gardens and gold topped gates prepare yourself for  the grandeur of the great Regency terraces which peel away to reveal the finish – Marylebone Parish Church.
