A Georgian arbour and terrace in the Hill Garden with expansive views across Hampstead Heath.the pergola has Hampstead to its core: the landscape of this special place was created with the help of soil dug up during the extension of the Northern Line to Hampstead. After the Pergola was extended in 1911, work was interrupted by The Great War. The project was finally completed after another extension shortly before Leverhulme’s death in 1925. The garden became run-down during World War II and by the time Hampstead Heath was taken over by the City of London Corporation in 1989, many of the original timbers of the Pergola were twisted, rotted and covered in climbing plants. Much of the stonework was missing or damaged and Leverhulme’s grand Pergola was a shadow of its former glory.
