Hill Garden and Pergola

The Hill Garden and Pergola is hidden away on a quiet bit of Hampstead Heath and is a gorgeous brick building with a long pergola, created by Lord Leverhulme. Apparently a lot of the soil involved in creating the gardens came from the tunnels being dug for the Northern Line at Hampstead! The gardens were first built in 1905 and developed further over the next twenty years, but then went into a decline after WW2. The Corporation of London is now responsible for the gardens and their upkeep. 

We visited the same day as Fenton House as by the time we got there the sun had come out and it was absolutely gorgeous. The gardens are lovely and we had it virtually to ourselves which was fab.

As ever, I am terrible at identifying plants so here are some lovely pictures with no plant names, haha.
