If I praised Jane, who is generous and thoughtful, and her attractive and comfortable place properly there might not be space left for me there next year, but I will be a little bit fair and describe a few things. From the balcony you see the heath, naturally, and you look down on the wonderful gardens of the houses that are on the inner ring of the loop made by South Hill Street. (In fact, the houses that are located on that inner ring and so have adjoining gardens have a separate street name with separate numbers, South Hill Garden street.)
If you leave her house, with it Burgh House, built in 1720, is free to see and has a small but great museum of Hampstead history, including a photo of an amazing 1538 tapestry (now in the British Library). It is a lovely map: at the top, the trees on the heath with a few buildings scattered around; in the middle, all the hills with their towns and their names, and at the bottom, tall buildings crowded together are swept in shining curves along the beautiful blueThames.
