Great sourdough bread! Wheat, rye, all sorts.. About £2.50 for a quarter of a huge loaf. I usually ask for it thinly sliced as it is pretty dense.

It takes about 45 mins to walk here and it is uphill, so you can work up an appetite on the way. New improved cuisine. Fun to walk back across the Heath in the dark. Take a torch and don't be nervous!

You mustn't miss Kenwood! An amazing house, inside (Vermeer, Rembrandt) and out, in an amazing location. Great food but pricey and very popular on a sunny weekend. Get there early to avoid the queues.

Little museum house with a lovely garden where John Keats lived as a young man. It was here that he fell in love with the girl next door and wrote Ode to a Nightingale and other romantic poems. A gem.
