🚫 Due to forecasted high winds, Golders Hill Park and the Heath's play areas will be closed all day tomorrow (Saturday 4 October) to ensure visitor safety. A decision on the bathing ponds will be made later today or first thing tomorrow. We'll update here. #StormAmy

Very disappointingly, Storm Amy strong winds mean #kenwoodhouse is closed Saturday. Very sad for the last Saturday of ‘Heiress: Sargent’s American Portraits’, & the disappointed people who would have come to Kenwood House. It’s been a record week for visitors. Please come on Sunday!

Today!!! Conkers provided!! Come along from 12.30pm
