Led by Carol Seigel, historian, curator and member of the HHS Plaque Selection Panel
The Society is hosting a second historic plaque walk through and around Hampstead Village to discover where some of its most famous residents lived and worked. They are commemorated by the English Heritage blue plaques and the black oval plaques of the Society, some of which are on Hampstead’s landmark buildings.
The Walk will explore the village from Burgh House down to Downshire Hill, the High Street and the streets around.
The meeting and end points for the walk will be Burgh House, New End Square, NW3 1LT. 10 minutes’ walk from Hampstead Tube Station (for map, see www.burghhouse.org.uk).
The walk will take approximately an hour and a half.
The cost of the walk is £10 per person, which can be paid at the start of the walk in cash or by credit card. To reserve your place(s), please email the Society on events@HeathandHampstead.org.uk
