Parkrun Practice

At West Hampstead Medical Centre, we are proud to be a parkrun practice.

Our local parkrun is held every Saturday morning at 9am in Gladstone Park.  

This course begins on a wide tarmac path through the middle of the park crossing a pedestrian railway bridge into the north section of the park. After completing two anti-clockwise laps of the north section of the park, the finish is back on the playing fields.

The other parkrun that is local to us is on Hampstead Heath - This is also held every Saturday at 9am.

Hampstead Heath parkrun is a clockwise 2 laps course that will take you through some wonderful ancient woodlands, along the chain of ponds and up through Parliament Hill Fields. This can be a fairly hilly walk and may not be suitable for all, depending on your level of mobility.
