Hampstead

Hampstead is an area within the London Borough of Camden in northwest London, England. It was formerly a metropolitan borough before being amalgamated into Camden in 1965.12

Hampstead retains a village-like character with expensive residential areas. Historically, it was a village in Anglo-Saxon times and its manor was once bestowed upon the monastery at Westminster. The parish church of Hampstead is a mid-18th-century structure, and notable buildings include Fenton House and Kenwood House, which features a collection of 18th-century British paintings. The Romantic poet John Keats also resided in Hampstead, and his former home is now a museum known as Keats House.2
