The Artography Map of Hampstead Heath is a beautiful hand-illustrated map & guide to the joys of the Heath, the timeless oasis of countryside & parkland at the heart of North London that has famously inspired generations of authors & artists.

The map shows the full area of the heath, with wooded areas, pond and paths marked, and gives surrounding street detail, particularly for Hampstead & Highgate Villages. Over 50 inset illustrations and paintings highlight some of the Heath’s prime views and attractions. Symbols show facilities and activities in and around the heath, including parking, refreshments, toilets, sports grounds and, naturally, pubs.

Phone numbers and opening hours are given for some of the top attractions of the area, including Keats House & the famous Highgate Cemetery. The reverse of the map gives detailed background information to the Heath accompanied by more illustrations, coving the area’s history, artistic and literary heritage, geology, ecology and its flora and fauna, all accompanied by illustrations & prints.

Original Illustrations by Michael Toohig.
