Why it's Wildland
6.2A Queen Anne-period Hampstead house now serving as a museum and cultural venue, with exhibitions and events bringing local history into a domestic setting.
Burgh House is a distinctive historic house with a public cultural life: free entry, museum displays, changing exhibitions and a café make it a worthwhile stop while exploring Hampstead. Its appeal is heritage and neighbourhood character rather than wild landscape.
