This beautiful neo-classical 18th century building looks out over an equally beautiful part of Hampstead Heath. English Heritage has restored much of the house to its original form, and the architectural elegance is stunning. Please note that wheelchair access is to the ground floor of the house only. There is a small but excellent collection of fine art here, including offerings from Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Turner. During the summer, classical concerts are held by the lake in the grounds; see Kenwood Lakeside Concerts for details. Other events such as fireworks displays and even sing-along Sound of Music nights are held in the grounds. Admission: Entry to the house is free. There is a charge for concerts - please ring for details.
