Hampstead Heath Ponds

Parliament Hill is an area of open parkland in the south-east corner of Hampstead Heath in north-west London. The hill, which is 98 metres (322 ft) high, is notable for its views of the capital's skyline. The Houses of Parliament, which are 6+1⁄4 miles (10.1 km) south of Parliament Hill in the City of Westminster, can be seen from the summit, although construction in the intermediate parts of London has partly obscured them.

Hampstead Heath (locally known simply as the Heath) is an ancient heath in London, spanning 320 hectares (790 acres). This grassy public space sits astride a sandy ridge, one of the highest points in London, running from Hampstead to Highgate, which rests on a band of London Clay. The heath is rambling and hilly, embracing ponds, recent and ancient woodlands, a lido, playgrounds, and a training track, and it adjoins the former stately home of Kenwood House and its estate. The south-east part of the heath is Parliament Hill, from which the view over London is protected by law. Running along its eastern perimeter is a chain of ponds – including three open-air public swimming pools – which were originally reservoirs for drinking water from the River Fleet. The heath is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation, and part of Kenwood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Lakeside concerts are held there in summer. The heath is managed by the City of London Corporation, and lies mostly within the London Borough of Camden with the adjoining Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park in the London Borough of Barnet.

Fitzroy Park is a road in Highgate in the London Borough of Camden. It is entered from The Grove and runs down hill to Millfield Lane. The road originally formed the carriage drive for Fitzroy House. The formerly rural setting of the road was significantly altered during the 20th century by the development of large private residences and high walls.It is noted for its modernist houses. Nos. 8a and 10 are listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England. The Hexagon, a gated housing development on Fitzroy Park, was built on the gardens of Witanhurst in the 1960s. A further development of 24 houses was built in 7 acres of the grounds of Witanhurst in 1985. The houses were priced between £750,000 and £1.5 million (equivalent to £4,834,964 in 2021). The site was acquired for £7 million by the Rosehaugh Group.Fitzroy House on Fitzroy Park was demolished in 1828 having been built in 1770.

The Historic England heritage listing praises the design of 8a as being " ... entirely of its time" as well as " ... one of the most adventurous in terms of complexity and in its method of separating the different functions of the house". 8a was depicted as the Draconian Embassy in scenes from the 1972 Doctor Who episode Frontier in Space, that were filmed at the house. The architecture critic Colin Amery wrote of 8a in a 1973 article for the Architects' Journal that it was " ... rare to find a house that succeeds as a dramatic piece of architecture and as a home. This house provides an infinite variety of spaces that can accommodate all sorts of uses. To do this it has not adopted some anonymous system, it still makes a strong statement. Imagination, craftsmanship and money have combined to create a most stimulating house". 8a was put up for sale in 2021 for £11.5 million.No. 10 was designed by the architect E. Vincent Harris as his personal residence and was completed in 1932. In 1953 Harris purchased an adjoining house, Southampton Lodge, which was subsequently demolished to extend his garden to the south west.

It was sold by its successor, the London Borough of Camden, in 2001 and it reverted to a private house.The Elms on Fitzroy Park is also listed Grade II as is its entrance lodge, pedestrian entrance, and garden wall.
