Kenwood House is closed due to strong winds as the Met Office has issued a weather warning.

The Hampstead Heath mansion has taken action to close the site today (April 15) amid the yellow weather warning in place until 10pm.

According to the Met Office, the strong winds may cause some disruptions including potential "delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport", with the agency adding that "some short term loss of power and other services is possible".

English Heritage has restricted access to the site for the safety of the public.

It is not the only place within north London that is closed due to the weather, as the gates at Queen’s Park are shut by the City of London Corporation due to “current wind conditions”.

A sign in place says: “We  will assess the situation throughout the day. Apologies for any inconvenience.”
