For many years I lived in Belsize Park and would walk on Hampstead Heath on a a weekend but never did I enter into Kenwood House or much of its gardens. I never even attended on of the many concerts at the Hampstead Bowl that was close to Kenwood House but I always loved the time I spent on the Heath. Kite Hill with the amazing view over London, the parades of oak trees, the wonderful open spaces, the numerous places to picnic. It was a breath of fresh air for Northern London. One I loved and one I never took for granted.
I grew up in West Hampstead - spent a lot of my childhood on Hampstead Heath & later lived fairly near this house & we picnicked in that area sometimes - back in the 1960's ! I had never been inside, so it's lovely to see some of the beautiful formal rooms - thank you !
A magnificent video; by far the finest video on Kenwood House on YT. What a pleasure to listen to a nicely spoken gentleman who not only knows what he is talking about but who also cares to dress in a manner befitting his position. I shall never forget my first visit to England in May 1999 and my visit to Kenwood, which took place on a beautiful, sunny day. In Lord Mansfield´s former study (8.03) we can briefly see the wonderful portrait of William Pitt the Younger by Thomas Gainsborough. Thank you very much for producing this video which brought back many nice memories. Regards from Argentina.
