Kenwood
The Property
Kenwood House, Hampstead Lane, Hampstead, London NW3 7JR
Kenwood House and Estate was left to the nation by Edward Cecil Guinness, first Earl of Iveagh in 1927. Situated on the northern edge of Hampstead Heath, Kenwood has provided an idyllic retreat from inner city life for many generations of Londoners.
The House is a fine example of an 18th century stately home, and contains many masterpieces by world-renowned painters.

Directions
There is very little public parking available at Kenwood on concert days. The surrounding streets are already heavily parked by local residents, and police actively enforce parking regulations on concert nights. We strongly advise that you do not drive to the concert. It is easy to get to Kenwood by public transport.
Bus and Tube
It’s easy to get to Kenwood using public transport. Take the Northern Line to Archway or Golders Green. 210 Bus stops outside Kenwood (7 minutes walk to the concert arena), and runs between Golders Green and Archway tube stations. 214 Bus from Kings Cross and the 271 Bus from Liverpool Street Station stop at Highgate Village. You can either walk to Kenwood from Highgate Village (20 minutes) or change at Highgate to the 210, which stops right outside Kenwood (7 minutes walk to the concert arena). In addition, special free shuttle services to the concerts serve East Finchley tube and Golders Green tube between 4pm and 8pm, returning from Kenwood after the concerts until 11pm. The Kenwood Concerts will be signposted from local tube stations.
