Why it's Wildland
2.5A small plaque marks a significant chapter in Orwell’s Hampstead years: while lodging on Parliament Hill, he met Eileen O’Shaughnessy, whom he married the following year.
This is a literary-history stop rather than a nature destination. Its value lies in the personal story attached to an ordinary London address: Orwell’s Parliament Hill lodgings were where he met Eileen O’Shaughnessy.
