A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 6.41pm (April 7) to reports of an incident in Primrose Hill.
"We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, an advanced paramedic practitioner, incident response officers, and we deployed crews from London's Air Ambulance.
"Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. A further patient was taken to a major trauma centre."
The summit of Primrose Hill is more then 63 metres above sea levels and offers one of six protected viewpoints around London.
The trees are purposely kept short to not inhibit the views that can be seen from the top of the hill.
The popular tourism area was originally appropriated by King Henry VIII.
