House on Hampstead Heath. English Heritage owned and run, Kenwood House
is one of London’s hidden gems perfectly positioned in a parkland landscaped by

tour around the House, the art
collection and the breathtaking interiors including the library of architect
Robert Adam.
The tour will be followed by drinks and nibbles in the
majestic Orangery overlooking over the grounds to the lake hosted by Parker
