Heath Street, Hampstead

Heath Street is in Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden, part of the A502 road for much of its route.

[1] By Jack Straw's Castle it divides into North End Way heading towards North End and Spaniards Road heading towards Hampstead Garden Suburb and Highgate via Hampstead Lane.

At the junction with Hampstead High Street is Hampstead tube station, which was originally planned to be called Heath Street.

[2] The southernmost stretch of the road was developed much later than rest during the late nineteenth century to connect Heath Street with the newly built Fitzjohns Avenue running to Swiss Cottage.

The Upper Flask Tavern on Heath Street catered to the traffic and was a meeting place for the Kit Kat Club of the early eighteenth century.
