A View on Hampstead Heath, looking towards London.
View through Europeana Collections
Rural Hampstead was infested with wolves as late
as the 13th Century, and only became a fashionable area to live
near with the discovery of springs which were purported to have
healing properties in 1698. It has traditionally been popular with
writers and poets; the Kit-Kat Club, whose members included Steele,
Pope and Dr. Arbuthnot, met at the Upper Flask in East Heath Road;
Keats, Leigh Hunt and Shelley were also frequent
visitors.
