So close to Hampstead Heath, we could almost list it as the back garden of this enchanting 1920s block. While the fabric of this art deco home might be outwardly simple in design, your host is an art curator, so you'll find lots of fascinating books, charming trinkets and eye-catching art from their personal collection – the closer you look, the more you'll see. It might not be one for the minimalist who prefers a slightly less personal touch, but this lived-in home is undoubtedly bursting with character. The two bedrooms are decorated in pleasing tones of grey and sage with warming natural wood floors that evoke the peace of the nearby heath. It's just a short climb up to the second floor, but we think you'll agree that it's worth it for the breathtaking views across London’s skyline.

Local guide
About Hampstead
Hampstead is pretty irresistable. It's not right in the centre of London but it's a real oasis to come back to at the end of a day of hectic sightseeing and there's plenty to explore here in its own right. Your neighbours will be a mix of affluent intellectual types: London's top psychiatrists, book publishers, writers etc. They are attracted by Hampstead's village atmosphere, vast array of characterful period houses, independent shops and restaurants and, last but by no means least, the delights of the vast green expanses of Hampstead Heath, with its much-loved wild swimming ponds.

Host
This home is managed by Alex
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Alex is an art curator who works in the UK as well as internationally. This definitely translates into his home, which is filled with his own art collection. We love the portrait of his grandmother.
