Hampstead

The neighborhood of Hampstead in North London, once a distinct village, was, years ago, subsumed by an expanding London. The area is very hilly, a rarity for London, and not on the popular list of tourist locales. The Hampstead Tube Station is on the border of Zone 2 and Zone 3, so a base monthly pass is valid for the journey. The area is very close to Central London and quite remote at the same time.
