The house at the north end of the heath, with a Vermeer. The indoor stop on a Hampstead day; the grounds are free. Next is Hampstead Heath — do not also stack the British Museum the same day.
Analysis
Kenwood House: two wings only. Last entry is about an hour before close (About 10:00–17:00). Leave a large case if there is no cloakroom, leave via Hampstead, and do not add another large museum the same day.
Best time
Afternoon
How to go
About 25 min across the heath from Hampstead
Transit
Tap contactless or Oyster at Hampstead. Last trains sit around midnight. After Kenwood House closes, board there — do not cross districts for the last train.
Season window
Spring and autumn are easiest at Kenwood House. Summer atriums and weekend crowds stack; in winter put the indoor rooms first, and do not count an outdoor court on a wet day.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 50 minutes.
- · Bags come off in the library
- · No flash and no tripods inside Kenwood House. Drink water before security. Pushchairs follow that day's door notice.
