"The tradition of "Swearing on the Horns" originated in the pubs around Highgate and involved swearing under 'oath' the commitment to the merriment and debauchery that would ensue, followed by the kissing of a pair of animal horns or a pretty woman."

Highgate High Street has an amazing selection of upmarket shops, cafes and restaurants - I love being in the centre of them all!

From the ponds to the beautiful views, there is no better place to spend a sunny day than on Hampstead Heath.

Peeking out from behind the trees in Waterlow Park is an impressive view of London.
