Question of the week: “In your opinion, where can you find the best view of London?” "Whitestone Pond in Hampstead is technically London’s highest point and affords a truly spectacular view from the peak of the Northwest, across the centre of the capital. Originally something of a beacon for horse-drawn journeys to reach before the slow decent either side (journeys to and from London were nowhere near as easy as they are now), it currently still serves as a ‘horse bath’ point for the Armed Service’s cavalry. It’s easily found via a short walk from Hampstead tube station and is surrounded by some wonderful attractions such as the Spaniards Inn and Kenwood House."- Hal
