A Robert Adam villa on the edge of the Heath with a Rembrandt and a Vermeer inside, and all of it free.
Also in Art.
Kenwood was remodelled between 1764 and 1779 by Robert Adam for William Murray, Lord Mansfield, the judge whose ruling of 1772 that a slave could not be forced out of England to be sold began the end of slavery here; his great-niece Dido Belle, the daughter of an enslaved woman and a naval officer, grew up in the house as one of the family, and the museum tells her story. Adam's library, a long room of pale blue and gold under a curved ceiling of painted panels, is one of the finest rooms in England. In 1925 Edward Guinness, Earl of Iveagh, bought the house to stop the builders and left it to the nation two years later with his pictures: Rembrandt's late Self-Portrait with Two Circles, Vermeer's Guitar Player, Gainsborough's Countess Howe, Reynolds, Turner and Constable, hung as they would be in a private house. The 112 acres of park, laid out by Humphry Repton, run down through woods to the ponds on Hampstead Heath, and house, pictures and park are all free.
