What to do in Hampstead?

[AuntieMarys]

Visiting next weekend...thinking of a few hours in Hampstead in the afternoon. Will be going to Parliament Hill of course. Nice bars/ places to eat/ independent shops? ( not clothes)

Louis's Patisserie for tea, or you could try lunch on the terrace at Kenwood, but there are loads of lovely places to eat and drink around there. The Spaniards Inn is atmospheric, nice for a drink or meal after a walk on the heath. Hampstead is a great place for a wander.

Yes we like a mooch. Can't believe I lived in London 25 years and never went!

Louis’ patisserie is crap now - not a patch on how it was 10-15 years ago.
The shops in Hampstead really aren’t very inspiring. I’d go for a walk on the Heath and then head for the Spaniard’s for drinks/food.
