"Meet at Hampstead Heath" is not a meeting point. It's a search party.
Each venue here is a landmark you can text — a gate, a foyer, a viewpoint, a café. FairWhere ranks them by whose journey is fairest, so the spot you choose is one everyone can actually reach.
Filter by what fits the group and tell people something more useful than “see you there.”
Why meeting points need their own list
- 1
Large places swallow groups — without a landmark, people wander.
- 2
Stations beat summits when arrivals are staggered.
- 3
Indoor foyers and cafés save the plan when it rains.
- 4
Gates are the sanest start for anywhere with more than one entrance.
- 5
The fairest landmark depends on where people live — not on which one is prettiest.
- 6
A clear text instruction is half the fairness.
Agree the landmark before anyone leaves home.
Share the venue name from this list — not "Hampstead Heath". A specific gate, foyer or café beats an area name every time.

Opening hours for Kenwood, the ponds and the lido change by season — check before you rely on them. The official City of London Heath map is the one to screenshot into the group chat.

Mixed Bathing Pond
Hampstead Heath
The mixed pond on the east side. Meet here if the plan involves swimming; do not meet here if it doesn't, or half the group will be wet and confused.

- Can we swim as part of the plan?
- Filter for swimming to surface pond-side pins, then rank the shortlist fairly before anyone walks the wrong path across the Heath.
- How does FairWhere rank places on Hampstead Heath — Meeting Points?
