Description

The Hill Garden Bridge is a Grade II* listed structure located over a public footpath that connects Inverforth Close to Hampstead West Heath. It was built around 1912 by Thomas H. Mawson as part of a garden scheme for Lord Leverhulme at The Hill, which is now known as Inverforth House. The bridge links the Central Temple Summerhouse with the western arm of the Cruciform Pergola. It features brick and stone banded abutments, a single stone arch with keystones on each side, and stone parapets that include balustraded sections over the arch. Historically, the area now known as The Hill Garden was divided when the house was converted into a hospital, and this part of the garden is now accessible to the public.

Local climate

The Hill Garden Bridge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
