Lunch at Wells Tavern and Walk Across Hampstead Heath

This post follows on from my last one when I visited Kenwood House in Hampstead. After visiting Kenwood House, which is located at the edge of the sprawling Hampstead Heath, I made my way through the heath and ended up in Hampstead where I enjoyed a nice pub lunch. I had the day off as it was one of the first warm days of the year, and I went to Kenwood House in the morning. To see my post with photographs from there, see Sunny June Day at Kenwood House.

I started at the northeast corner of Hampstead Heath (basically from Highgate), where there was a nice view of London's buildings in the distance from the hill.

After visiting Kenwood House, I navigated through the wooded area and parkland, which was not that interesting really. It was a nice walk in the sunshine, though, and it does take awhile to walk through Hampstead Heath to Hampstead. 

I seemed to be following someone else's path and captured the sam dog twice in my photographs. I would say that most people walking had a dog.

There was a pond, which was dark and overgrown.

I got to Hampstead Heath on Well Street, and I saw the blue plaque mentioning painter John Constable. This painter has artwork shown in Kenwood House, and he lived in Hampstead for awhile.

I also saw the well for which the street is named.

I went to the Wells Tavern, and I had a chilli margarita cocktail and chicken main.

The chicken was served with slices of potatoes and vegetables with a puree sauce. The food was very delicious.

As the day was very warm, I had a strawberry pavlova with a lot of cream and meringue.

I enjoyed my visit to the Wells Tavern and had a good meal, and with Hampstead Heath being nearby, it's perfect for a walk combined with lunch or dinner.
