About
Visit Kenwood House on the edge of Hampstead Heath and discover a world-famous art collection in a grand country house setting.
Set in 112 acres of beautiful parkland, Kenwood House is home to a world-class art collection by artists including Vermeer, Rembrant, Turner and Gainsborough.
The stunning interior was designed by 18th-century Scottish architect Robert Adam and one of the main features is the restored Great Library, where the original colour scheme can be seen. Previous residents of the house include brewing magnate Edward Guinness.
Outside, wander through the gardens and ancient woodland, not forgetting to take a peek at the dairy. Made up of an octagonal tea room, it's the room where the dairymaids lived and the dairy itself.
Stop for a coffee in the Brew House cafe which serves traditional roast dinners on a Sunday.
