The high streets of Hampstead

Flask Walk, Hampstead

The Hampstead & Highgate Express relaunches today, with digital subscriptions – support our local newspaper! – and a major feature on the future of Hampstead’s high streets.

The Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum invites you to explain how your needs are changing. Survey open until 29 April.
