The Pergola 
The Pergola is one of the hidden delights of Hampstead Heath. It overlooks West Heath, and was the dream of William H Lever, later Lord Leverhulme, a wealthy idealist, patron of the arts, architecture and landscape gardening; and Thomas Mawson, the celebrated landscape architect.

The Pergola and Hill Garden were once attached to the Edwardian style mansion, Inverforth House which sits behind it.   A house has sat on the site of Inverforth House since around 1779.   The original Georgian building called 'Hill House' was given in 1807 to Samuel Hoare.
