Burgh HouseSet in the heart of Hampstead Village, Burgh House is a Queen Anne, Grade I listed, building with a terraced garden and licensed basement buttery serving Sunday roasts and cream teas - they'll even pack you a picnic to have on the nearby Hampstead Heath. Upstairs, on the first floor of the house, you'll find the Hampstead Museum while many organisations have shared the facilities here including the Hampstead Music Club and Hampstead Buddhists. In past incarnations, the house has been home to a physician, an upholsterer and a vicar, as well as to Rudyard Kipling's daughter. Former resident Thomas Grylls, a distinguished stained glass designer, created the rose window above Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. Regular concerts, recitals and talks are held, as are ever-changing art exhibitions and weekly bridge and scrabble sessions.
