You can walk from Golders Green in about 15 minutes or take the H2 bus runs from Golders Green station (actually from the former trolleybus turning circle in Finchley Road). It runs every 12 minutes in the daytime until 2015 then every 15 minutes on the quarter hour. Alight at Heathgate or the top of Northway (several minutes later). Beware of the H3 which looks hopeful but will suddenly take you off in the wrong direction.
Because these routes are circular services they always, rather unhelpfully, now show 'Golders Green' as the destination, though they sometimes have 'via Garden Suburb' on the side. H1 buses to 'Henrietta Barnett School' will also bring you to Heathgate.
The services all run on the 'hail and ride' system, so if you set off walking you will not find any stops - just wave at the driver.
There is a taxi rank on North End Road.

Do not be confused by the incorrect spelling of 'Barnett'!
Of historical interest only
The main route is called the H2 because when it started there already was an H1 serving Wood Green Shopping City. It was called the 'Shopper Hopper', and this suggests the 'H' stands for 'Hopper', or 'Hoppa', rather than 'Hampstead'.
The trolleybuses used the lay-by in the other direction.
The H2 was originally a 'Dial-a-bus' service.
The routes used to start inside the bus station
The destination screen used to tell you where the bus was going.
The H2 was not always red.
and from 1909
