Death. Hallowes died in February 2016. Hallowes left the half-acre plot to two homelessness charities (Shelter and Centrepoint) and following his death the land was auctioned. The plot sold for £154,000 which was significantly less than estimates that had been speculatively reported in the press.
Was Hampstead a true story?
The charming, often witty “Hampstead” was inspired by the true tale of Irish-born Harry Hallowes, who lived in a makeshift shack in a rustic London park. In 2007, a property developer tried to evict Hallowes, claiming he was on the land illegally, but events took an extraordinary turn.
