Parliament Hill is an area of open parkland in the south-east corner of Hampstead Heath in north-west London.

[1] In 1133, the hill was part of a manor that Henry I gave to a baron called Richard de Balta.

A legend states that this was the site from where Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby, of the Gunpowder Plot on November the 5th 1605, planned to watch the destruction of Parliament.

Parliament Hill is renowned as a cross-country running venue and hosted the 1957, 1961, 1965, 1969, 1973, 1977, 1981, 1993 and 2003 men's English National Cross Country Championships and the 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2022 men's and women's English National Cross Country Championships.

The senior men's and women's teams train in the middle of the running track and on parts of the hill.
