Hampstead  $40.00

Beloved by Keats and Hogarth, this suburb of north London, with its cafes, tearooms and restaurants, was home to Sigmund Freud, D. H. Lawrence, Anna Pavlova and John Le Carré; and today, it's still a favorite excursion for Londoners. Lavender gingham and sweet floral, like the gardens in this village.
