Kenwood House, also known as the Iveagh Bequest, is a stately home on the northern boundary of Hampstead Heath in the London Borough of Camden. Its present house dates from the late 17th century and was remodelled in the 18th century by the Scottish architect Robert Adam for William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield. Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, bought the house in 1925 and donated it to the nation in 1927. It is a Grade I listed building and remains a popular tourist attraction.
