Location: London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom
The Decoy Brook rises from Sandy Heath where the sand meets the clay. The Extension covers 125 acres of former agricultural land following the formation of the Hampstead Heath Extension Council in 1903 to prevent the Underground reaching the area.
There's a series of 7 ponds as well as Great Wall, between Hampstead Way and North Point, designed by Charles Wade for Unwin at the southern edge of Hampstead Garden Suburb and inspired by medieval German towns, particularly Rothenburg.
