Highgate Village is walking distance from my home & it's probably my most favourite place in North London....it's where I'd buy a house if I won the lottery.
It's a great place for just wandering around....plenty of coffee shops, some decent restaurants, some great pubs (The Flask does good food & its garden is packed most week-ends).
Or you can just sit peacefully in Pond Square in the centre of the village enjoying the views....
there is plenty of history, lots of trees and it definitely has a village atmosphere.
Waterlow Park, located at the top of Highgate Hill, is a gorgeous space, very popular with locals & on a sunny day.
My husband used to play here when he was small, we spent numerous afternoons here with a picnic and a pile of Sunday newspapers pre-children & now we take our own children here.
It also has a very good cafe, lots of hidden secluded spaces, a pond with ducks and a play area.
You can find some of the most beautiful and elegant houses in London in Highgate....
lots of character, beautiful old stone, brightly painted front doors & gardens to die for.
Highgate Cemetery is very popular with tourists and is an interesting place to explore....
and you are walking distance from Hampstead Village and the Heath.
It's a perfect afternoon destination for the week-end.
