To the north and east of Hampstead, and separating it from [[Highgate]], is London's largest ancient parkland, [[Hampstead Heath]], which includes the well-known and legally-protected view of the London skyline from Parliament Hill. The Heath, a major place for Londoners to walk and "take the air", has three open-air public [[Hampstead Ponds|swimming ponds]]; one for men, one for women, and one for mixed bathing, which were originally [[reservoir (water)|reservoirs]] for drinking water and part of the [[River Fleet]].
Local activities include major open-air concerts on summer Saturday evenings on the slopes below [[Kenwood House]], book and poetry readings, fun fairs on the lower reaches of the Heath, period harpsichord recitals at Fenton House, Hampstead Scientific Society and Hampstead Photographic Society.
