Traveler reviews
Julie Brenner
★★★★★3 months agoDelightful art gallery and museum in beautiful Hampstead. Grade 1 listed Queen Anne and Georgian House built in 1704 and later extended. Still has many original features. The art gallery is smallish though well curated and worth visiting. I saw Hampstead Women Artist Kate Greenaway and others plus interesting exhibition of emigre artists who settled in Hampstead. 15 minute walk from Hampstead station.

★★★★★Edited a month agoI visited Bugh House today and felt very welcomed by the staff (Manuela and Isaac)—not to mention the wonderful salad prepared by Chef Laila. I recommend it wholeheartedly; it is undoubtedly the best place.
