Fresh air

We love to walk endlessly on the Heath. You could be a million miles from London, once you get into the wilder areas in the woods in the north! Take the 271 bus up to Highgate Hill and walk from there, and end up in Hampstead to have a well-deserved pint. Don't forget to make sure you stop at the top of Parliament Hill on the way for an amazing view!
