Hampstead is “London’s Favourite Village” and characterised by its iconic landmarks, natural heathland, historic homes, streets & vibrant cafe culture.
Just 3 miles from the city centre, Hampstead is one of the most beautiful parts of London & one that fully retains its village origins. Walking around the narrow lanes & vast open spaces, it's easy to forget you're in London at all.
Long favoured writers & artists, it's also home to many of the most famous celebrities in the world, you never know who you might bump into.
We will explore the quaint alleyways and splendid Georgian houses whilst learning something of the history and culture of Hampstead village and of some of the famous figures who lived and died here.
See the homes of Keats, George Orwell, Robert Louise Stephenson, Daphne du Maurier, John Constable & filming locations for After Life (Ricky Gervais lives nearby) & inspirations for Dracula, Mary Poppins plus the best view of London from Hampstead Heath.

5.00Not sure if anything has ever happened in London that our guide Kevin doesn't know about. We started in Bloomsbury and then took the tube to Hampstead and for three hours Kevin pointed out things we never even would have noticed while sharing interesting stories of wherever we happened to be, as well as those who had lived there. We'll be looking him up for more tours when we return to London.
A fantastic day, a unique tour, a guide who told us a lot of new things! Great experience!

5.00The tour of Hampstead Village was uniquely beautiful. The Führer took time to explain everything in detail. Especially in our fast-paced times, such an experience is unique. Me and my children learned so much new and interesting and also had enough time to take all the photos. This was the best guided tour I have ever had. I can therefore highly recommend the tour of Hampstead and the Führer. Thank you for this beautiful and educational experience. Thank you very much Stephen! 🤗
Great private tour of Hampstead

5.00Stephen is full of knowledge and clearly has a passion for history. We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour around our local area and learned many fascinating facts. We especially enjoyed finding out the origins of many well-used phrases. Would highly recommend!
