Hampstead (Northern line)

This fine neoclassical mansion was remodelled by Robert
Adam between 1764-73. It stands at the edge of Hampstead
Heath in North London. It has fabulous landscaped gardens
and in the summer open air concerts are held in the bowl by
the lake which are quite exquisite wine and cheese affairs.
The house contains the most important private collection of
paintings ever given to the nation, the Iveagh Bequest.
