Escape to Hampstead Heath

Carrie

In this episode of Escape to Hampstead Heath, we’re delighted to welcome Carrie, a remarkable guest.  Having moved from Cleverly near Blackpool to West Hampstead at the age of 21, Carrie initially took the Heath, a little, for granted. However, she soon discovered a passion for running, walking with her dog and children and a profound connection to the Ladies’ Pond.  This all happened while she was co-founding and building Mumsnet into the successful brand and business it is today. Enjoy!

Martin

In this episode of Escape to Hampstead Heath, we have a fascinating guest, Martin, who moved from South Africa to enjoy and write about Hampstead Heath. Martin delves into stories of how Hampstead Heath survived being developed, the renewal and repair of the Spanish Civil War veterans’ commemoration bench, and the discovery of a ‘Pound’. Enjoy.

Ovidio

In this episode of Escape to Hampstead Heath, we have a magnificent guest, Ovidio, who has travelled from Hollywood to Holloway to enjoy the delights and specialness of Hampstead Heath since 1975. Ovidio explores how Hampstead Heath enhances his life when he isn’t making films or surfing, and how he has formed a band by approaching people in the Lido showers. Enjoy.

Catriona

In this episode of Escape to Hampstead Heath, we have a great guest, Catriona, who has been local to the Heath since the age of two.  Catriona recounts her stories of tobogganing, hyperthermia, sheep, and sitting outside the Freemasons with a packet of crisps. Enjoy.

Michele
