Lady’s Beautiful Guide to Hampstead, London

Today I want to share my guide to Hampstead, London. As an American in London, one of the first things I learned about fitting in is that self deprecation goes a lot farther than self aggrandizement, and what is unsaid is often more important than what’s stated aloud. It’s all about understatement in Britain.

This phenomenon extends beyond human interaction, revealing itself in the city’s neighborhoods as well. The best example of this is Hampstead, an unassuming little village in north London.
