Summer. What happened to it? It was pretty hot in the city until about a week ago when the heat left like it was late for work. Good thing I made it to Hampstead Heath before autumn came - because as far as green spaces in London go, there are few more diverse than the Heath.

This walk follows the Hampstead Heath Circuit ( https://www.haringey.gov.uk/sites/har... ) with some key differences, namely that we climb Parliament Hill at the end of the walk for panoramic views of London and that we explore the Pergola, the covered garden seen in the thumbnail and intro. People have described the Pergola as criminally underrated, and it's true - I've lived in North London for more than half a decade now and been to Hampstead Heath many times, but the Pergola always escaped my attention. Other landmarks include Kenwood House, run by English Heritage, and the many swimmable and fishable lakes that surround the Heath.

Postscript: Sorry about the video noise, it's really quite ugly in places. This was filmed on my erstwhile DJI Pocket 2 which overheated several times. This video - and a forthcoming one on Richmond Park - solidified my desire to move to a "better" camera that was more suited for this sort of content, as it was a very frustrating afternoon in what was otherwise a lovely environment. I have about 10 videos left to upload from it though so it'll be a little while before all my footage comes from my mirrorless. In the meantime, you might see blocky, noisy footage with cuts and ISO jumps in places, which is probably to be expected to some extent as this camera just wasn't made to endure this sort of filming.
