We stopped here at the cafe for a bite to eat & a cup of tea, sat outside to enjoy the day; average service & food, could be pricey depending on what you get. The scenery infront of Kenwood House reminded me of the typical Victorian scenes, where socialites would be seen floating around on a boating pond or picnicking... More

The reststaurant has been open for years, and just gets better. They do a "Full Monty" in the morning from the buffet, which transitions seamlessly to a three choice lunch, which is always a chickeney something, a quichey something, a vege something and soup plus great hunks of good bread. Their cakes are "English" standards. Staff always very friendly. Make... More

We were lucky enough to visit on the last weekend before the house is closed for renovations until autumn 2013. Delightful position in Hampstead, with plenty of greenery around yet central London is within sight. Free entry is a bonus for a property of this quality. Each room is full of art (Gainsborough & Turner to name a few), but... More
