Go stargazing on Hampstead Heath

Enjoy views over London from one of the city’s best viewpoints, Hampstead Heath, where the hilltop park boasts surrounding vistas of the city away from its bright lights, meaning it’s also an excellent place to go stargazing. Keen? Head to Hampstead Observatory, founded in 1899, where you can find the iconic Cooke telescope (Thomas Cooke’s telescope built in 1850), which is still used today. The observatory is only open between September to April, weather permitting, so be sure to check ahead of making a trip down there.
