Committee details

The City of London protects and manages, by charitable trust, almost 11,000 acres of open spaces within and around the capital for the benefit of local communities and visitors. Hampstead Heath is one of London’s most popular green spaces, situated just six kilometres from Trafalgar Square. An island of beautiful countryside, the magic of Hampstead Heath lies not only in its rich wildlife and extensive sports and recreational opportunities, but also in its proximity and accessibility to millions of people. There is an athletics track, an education centre, extensive children's facilities, three swimming ponds and a Lido. The Hampstead Heath Consultative Committee provides a forum for local residents and users of the Heath to comment upon the management of the Heath.
