Last weeks of summer in London - Prof Kucich

Question of the week:Question of the week: Do you have any recommendations for things to do to take advantage of the last weeks of summer?

"A delightful way to enjoy a summery experience in London is to spend a day in Hampstead, 20-30 minutes north of Trafalgar Square on the underground (Northern Line) or by bus (number 24 from Trafalgar Square). Hampstead Heath is a gorgeous green area where you can have a delightful picnic, visit the kite flying area where you also can enjoy fabulous hilltop views of London, go for long leafy walks, and even go swimming in the bathing ponds.

Hampstead village, adjacent to the heath, has the feel of an eighteenth-century village and features many cool cafes, bookshops, and restaurants, as well as the home of the great nineteenth-century poet John Keats, now a museum.

For a lovely, literary, summery day, go to Hampstead." - Prof Kucich
