The summer is all about \u201cmaking mad love on the Heath\u201d. More than just a quote from the 1995 dance classic \u201cInsomnia\u201d by Faithless, the lyric has become the modus operandi of celebrity couples who can\u2019t get enough of each other. Yes, I\u2019m talking about Hampstead Heath, and obviously, I\u2019m also talking about those viral pap shots of Harry Styles with Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/a>, which were quickly followed by similarly affectionate snaps of Joe Alwyn and Sarah Pidgeon.<\/p>\n

In the former, the effortlessly cool duo can be seen kicking back in the long grass, enjoying a low-key picnic date on a sunny afternoon, complete with canned drinks and a patterned blanket. Lying in his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s lap, Styles opted for a casual ensemble comprising navy shorts, with a white long-sleeved The Row top featuring cherry-red sleeves. Almost twinning with him, Kravitz<\/a> donned her signature oval shades with a strappy black crop top, cobalt Adidas shorts and a pair of black ballet<\/a> flats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for Alwyn and Pidgeon, whose romance is still relatively fresh \u2013 they were photographed for the first time together in early June \u2013 it was a similarly laissez-faire day date. Nestled in the heart of the Heath, the pair was seen laughing, kissing and playfully dancing as they shared a bottle of sparkling wine and crackers.<\/p>\n

Pidgeon\u2019s elevated sportswear was a far cry from her CBK era, and comprised a blue baseball cap, a white sleeveless T-shirt and butter-yellow, wide-leg cropped trousers, topped off with a pair of flip-flops. Alwyn joined her with the baseball cap \u2013 a totem among off-duty celebs \u2013 and wore a black T-shirt, navy shorts and trainers. These are enviable scenes. And not just for the obvious reasons, ie, if you happen to fancy any of the aforementioned supremely attractive people.<\/p>\n

Of all the romantic spots in London, few rival the Heath. Its dangerously vast and deliciously rugged landscape subverts the city\u2019s other manicured green spaces. There are steep, pebbly hills that will leave you feeling breathless, bodacious trees that have stood for 800 years, and muddy pathways that you might sink into on the right kind of rainy day. And a set of freezing, slightly murky ponds you can swim around in, just so long as you\u2019re comfortable with your hands vanishing just a few inches deep.<\/p>\n

There are viewpoints, too, where it feels as if you can see all of London at once. Kenwood House carries that Austenian romance that makes us all feel like we\u2019re stepping into a period piece. And then, there\u2019s the long grass, where anything and everything can unfold from the safety of being at least a little bit hidden.<\/p>\n

Maintaining an elemental power and mystique that is greater than all of us, the Heath is wild, unpredictable and deeply horny. It\u2019s a special place rooted in romantic nostalgia, free from the whirring sounds of the city. Being there makes you feel close to nature instead of glued to the glare of screens: why simply touch grass when you can roll around in it with someone?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m far from the only person getting turned on by the natural world. Charli XCX\u2019s music video for her latest single, \u201cWink Wink\u201d, sees everyone\u2019s favourite brat writhing around in stretching countryside fields near where she grew up in Essex. Meanwhile, both Notting Hill and Sense and Sensibility (the 1995 version) filmed key scenes on the Heath. It was also the meet-cute spot in the latest Bridget Jones film for our heroine and her younger boyfriend, played by Leo Woodall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The summer is all about \u201cmaking mad love on the Heath\u201d.
