Hampstead Heath - a Luxurious Refuge Near London for Poets, Artists and Dreamers
위치: Hampstead Heath
주소: Hampstead Heath
Welcome to Hampstead Heath, a little corner of paradise where, one Sunday over a century ago, you could even see Karl Marx taking a stroll, along with poets, intellectuals and simple dreamers, all looking for a tiny refuge in which to enjoy a few minutes of silence. Around the park is the village of the same name which was a favourite destination for personalities like Sigmund Freud, T. S. Eliot, Robert Louis Stevenson and H. G. Wells. Hampstead Village was also home to writer P. L. Travers, author of Mary Poppins, who envisioned the roof of the Admiral’s House as home to the eccentric Admiral Boom. Hampstead Heath is also a perfect place for sports with a running track, an education centre, plenty of spaces created expressly for children, three wading pools and even a beach club.
The dark and fascinating world of Peaky Blinders comes to the stage in The Redemption of Thomas Shelby, a theatrical dance production by Rambert and written by the creator of the TV series, Steven Knight.
The exhibition begins in the 1920s, when swimsuits began to be marketed for swimming and when seaside holidays became popular and explores the role of swimming in modern life up to the present day.
For the first time, a monographic exhibition retraces the work of Joseph Wright of Derby, focusing on the cycle of candlelit paintings created between 1765 and 1773.
