London Music Venues London Classical Kenwood HouseKenwood House
Set in tranquil parkland with panoramic views over London, Kenwood House boasts sumptuous 
interiors and important paintings by many great artists. Brewing magnate, Edward Guinness, bought Kenwood House in 1925 and proceeded to fill it with fine art including works by Rembrandt, Turner, Reynolds, Gainsborough and Vermeer.
During the Summer months, it plays host to the Picnic Concerts, featuring pop artists and some classical offerings too (such as last night of the proms). The setting can be magical in good weather as you watch the performance across the lake. These days you don't even have to make the picnic, you can pick one up courtesy of Carluccio's (for the relevant fee). Book tickets early and hope the weather holds, for what can be a deceptively pastoral experience, considering you're in one of the world's largest cities.
The house and grounds are free to enter. Concerts are priced according to the act.
Hampstead Lane, London, NW3 7JR.
Archway, Hampstead Heath or Highgate Tube (then a walk).
