Why not explore the nearby areas of Highgate, Archway, Dartmouth Park, Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Tufnell Park, Hampstead, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Holloway and Finsbury Park

"Highgate cemetery is one of the most famous resting places in London thanks to Karl Marx, but other equally illustrious figures include the novelist Douglas Adams, TV broadcaster Jeremy Beadle and scientist Michael Faraday."

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

Mike Tracy

I love popping out at lunch time to see what Muswell Hill has to offer!
