I've just converted Hampstead to the Z-machine using unQuill. Now I'm going to play it. Hurray! My first Quill game!
Enjoy! It's pretty unfair at times and some of the puzzles are downright obscure - but on the whole, it's a lot of fun and none too difficult :)
Original and fun, but requires an advanced level of specific UK cultural knowledge - some puzzles are based on it. As a satire, it works very well. As an adventure, it is a bit of an acquired taste and probably not for everyone.
