13 min Tube ride - go to Piccadilly Circus Yes! It's worth the tube ride. Highgate is the closest tube station but if you walk from the Hampstead tube station it's a much prettier walk across Hampstead Heath through the ancient oaks and grassy fields. The house is easily seen in an hour or so. I didn't take a tour. They have a lovely garden cafe to one side. Make time to view London from the top of one of the hills within the park - Parliament Hill is a nice vantage point. If you want a nice pub to stop for lunch or dinner on the way back into town, you can walk through the Highgate neighborhood to The Lord Palmerston and then catch the tube back at Tufnell Park tube station. Hampstead Village is worth spending a while in. Very pretty village feel and beautiful buildings and houses. Something else in the area that is WELL worth seeing is Highgate Cemetery...it's the Pere Lachaise of London - tombs and graves in various states of repair, famous people, and very atmospheric - lots of little foxes running around. Hampstead Heath is an ancient heath in London, spanning 320 hectares (790 acres). This grassy public space sits astride a sandy ridge, one of the highest points in London, running from Hampstead to Highgate, which rests on a band of London Clay. The heath is rambling and hilly, embracing ponds, recent and ancient woodlands, a lido, playgrounds, and a training track, and it adjoins the former stately home of Kenwood House and its estate. The south-east part of the heath is Parliament Hill, from which the view over London is protected by law. Running along its eastern perimeter is a chain of ponds – including three open-air public swimming pools – which were originally reservoirs for drinking water from the River Fleet. The heath is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation, and part of Kenwood is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Lakeside concerts are held there in summer. The heath is managed by the City of London Corporation, and lies mostly within the London Borough of Camden with the adjoining Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park in the London Borough of Barnet.

All's Well That End's Well (option) Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse first built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. Like the original, it is located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Southwark, London. The reconstruction was completed in 1997 and while concentrating on Shakespeare's work also hosts a variety of other theatrical productions. Part of the Globe's complex also hosts the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for smaller, indoor productions, in a setting which also recalls the period.

Tate Modern
Tate Modern is an art gallery in London, housing the United Kingdom's
Tate Modern is an art gallery in London, housing the United Kingdom's national collection of international modern and contemporary art (created from or after 1900). It forms part of the Tate group together with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. It is located in the former Bankside Power Station, in the Bankside area of the London Borough of Southwark. Tate Modern is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. As with the UK's other national galleries and museums, there is no admission charge for access to the collection displays, which take up the majority of the gallery space, whereas tickets must be purchased for the major temporary exhibitions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the museum was closed for 173 days in 2020, and attendance plunged by 77 per cent to 1,432,991. However, it recovered strongly in 2022, with 3,883,160 visitors, making it the third most visited in Britain and the fourth-most visited art museum in the world. The nearest railway and London Underground station is Blackfriars, which is 550 yards (0.5 km) from the gallery.
