Eating a Highwayman's Feast at an Historic Pub in Hampstead, London

Once you’ve traversed the sprawling wilderness of north London’s Hampstead Heath, climbed to the summit of Parliament Hill (for views of St Paul's, Canary Wharf, and the London Eye), and navigated past the picnicking families, reckless kite flyers, and errant cottagers, the Spaniards Inn is a well-earned lunch spot. Birthplace of both highwayman Dick Turpin and Keats' "Ode To A Nightingale" (written in the garden on a spring day), this creaking boozer leaks olde worlde charm, and has been serving fine ales and traditional Sunday roasts to weary hikers since 1585. Stay a while—you can always call a cab home.
