With New Year being a marker for new beginnings and February, my birthday, marking another year of growth and adventure ahead.. there’s no better time for me to organise an afternoon to meet some new friends who also love to get off the concrete and into nature. We can take a walk in one of London’s hidden treasures, Hampstead Pergola It is essentially a raised walkway, overgrown with vines and exotic flowers, and is set amidst some wonderfully dramatic gardens. The history of the Pergola goes back to 1904 when Lord Leverhulme, a wealthy philanthropist and lover of landscape gardening, purchased a large town house on the Heath called “The Hill”. Over the following year Lord Leverhulme expanded his estate by acquiring the surrounding land, and with this new found space he decided to build a legacy; his Pergola. He wanted it to be the setting for extravagant Edwardian garden parties, while at the same time being a place where his family and friends could spend long summer evenings enjoying the spectacular gardens.
