Overview

This is a fascinating gentle walk through a green cityscape, beginning with a short loop around the “country village” of Hampstead and ending in Oxford Circus. Passing Fenton House - a National Trust 17th-century house; 2 Willow Road - a unique home designed in 1939 by ground-breaking modernist architect Ernö Goldfinger; Keats House - a regency house where the poet John Keats lived from 1818 to 1820. A steep walk up to Primrose Hill with views over the whole of London; coffee stop (bring your own drinks). Down to Regent’s Park and into the Inner Circle with a stop at Queen Mary's Gardens for a wander round. The walk continues through Marylebone to Oxford Circus.

Lunch:- at the end at Oxford Circus or Soho or Marylebone - endless choice. 

Train:- Tube to Hampstead Underground Station on the Northern Line
