Hampstead Sunset | The Best Panoramic View of London

▪️ Forget Greenwich—Hampstead Heath offers the ultimate skyline vista! 🌆 A local friend took me to Hampstead Heath for sunset, and wow—the view over London is unbeatable. ▪️ Hampstead is London’s "Beverly Hills"—home to celebs like Benedict Cumberbatch, Emilia Clarke, and Harry Styles. Strolling through this affluent NW London neighborhood, you’ll spot locals walking their dogs, soaking up the golden hour under a pastel blue-purple sky. Pure chill. 🐕💨 ——— ▫️ Parliament Hill Viewpoint is the highest spot for sweeping city views. People gather here to quietly savor London’s "blue hour" before sunset. 🌄 ▫️ A skyline guideboard (see pic) points out landmarks: Caledonian Park (far left) The O2 Arena Canary Wharf The City & BT Tower ——— ▪️ Beyond the sunset: Keats House 🖋️ (home of Romantic poet John Keats, featured in Bright Star)—just 10 mins away. Kenwood House 🎥 (Notting Hill filming location)—a stately home turned free museum with ties to Britain’s abolition of slavery (see Belle). Freud Museum 🛋️ (try the meditation couch!) Highgate Cemetery ⚰️ (Karl Marx’s resting place) Hampstead Theatre 🎭 (cutting-edge plays) 📍 Best viewpoint: Parliament Hill Viewpoint (Heath Lodge, London NW5 1QR) 🚇 3 Tube options: Overground (Gospel Oak) → 12-min scenic walk (past lakes & hills 🌳—local fave!) Overground (Hampstead Heath) → shorter but less picturesque Northern Line (Hampstead) → 20-min walk #LondonLife #UKTravel #StudyAbroad #LondonViews #HiddenGems ✨🌇
