I visit this very "English village garden experience" cafe everytime I receive some guests at mine. I always wonder how Hampstead is slightly neglected by people who live in London..

It's 15min on tube and you can enjoy the English countryside, very cute one with the gift of Hampstead Heath being easy reach where you can wonder for ages, picnic, dog walking, even swimming in a pond.

This tea house is little hidden yet 4 min walk from high street/tube station on the way to the heath, in front of where John  Constable (19th century English painter) used to live. (Along with many novelists, painters, artists all preferred to live near the heath, e.g. George Orwell, Syd Barret, Keats, T.S. Eliot, A.A. Milne, Lucien Freud, Sigmund Freud, Lee Miller etc.. )

They cater proper lunch dishes, but I always settle on tea and scone, of course served with homemade jam and clotted cream. fruit scone with jam/cream £2.75, pot of tea £1.75 and I have it in the garden looking out for seasonable flowers there. At this moment, I already feel being in the countryside :) merely 20min walk from home..

If you need some fresh air of countryside and can't afford it? then visit Hampstead.
