2 reviews of Parliament Hill

A popular spot

This hill is the southern entrance to the park of Hampstead Heath, one of the most important parks in North London. In this place stood Traitor's Hill, where battles have broken out throughout history. Queen Boadicea or Buddica is said to have been killed here, while leading an attack against the Roman settlement of Londinium. Her tomb can be found further to the south, near King's Cross Station.

The name has nothing to do with the Houses of Parliament, but rather this was the place where troops loyal to Parliament, fighting against the English king, stood during the English Civil War of the seventeenth century.
