Highgate is primarily a place to eat and drink rather than to stay. The restaurants here draw steady crowds: San Jordi and The Red Lion & Sun both rate 4.5 from over a thousand reviews each, while Namaaste Highgate edges higher at 4.6 from 867 reviews. The Flask, The Angel Inn Highgate, and The Wrestlers Highgate all sit around 4.4, each with several hundred reviews. There are enough good places to eat that you could spend an evening trying different spots without repeating yourself.
For those wanting to spend time outdoors, Hampstead Ponds offers open water for swimming and walking. It is the kind of thing that draws people to the area even if they are not staying locally, and it gives the neighbourhood character beyond its restaurant scene.
