3. The Buttery Cafe
Looking for a slightly unique cafe? Then The Buttery Hampstead is for you because it is located within Burgh House Hampstead Museum.
There are a few museums in Hampstead but Burgh House is the prettiest in my opinion and here you can sit inside or outside on their beautiful garden terrace (the only Garden cafe in Hampstead!) admiring the views of Hampstead’s stunning architecture!
Located close to Hampstead Heath, offering a full English and European, Lunch, Brunch and Afternoon Tea menu this makes for one of the best cafes in Hampstead Heath!
