West Hampstead – a peaceful village setting just a few miles from Central London 

  • Situated five miles north-west of central London, with Golders Green to the north, Hampstead to the north-east, Belsize Park to the east, South Hampstead to the south and Kilburn to the west – West Hampstead is a gem of a location.
  • Offering a great lifestyle with a keen sense of community among its residents. Many locals have been here for decades while the younger generation are attracted to this popular area to put down roots.
  • West End Lane is awash with vibrant cafes, bakeries, superb restaurants and shops as well as independent boutiques and cosy pubs not forgetting one of the best weekly farmers’ markets in London.
  • An excellent area for young professionals in search of a residential lifestyle close to Central London with brilliant transport links, (10mins to Bond Street with the Jubilee Line), direct access to St Pancras International, the City or Gatwick Airport with the Thameslink, and an easy commute to East and South London with the Overground.
  • With striking Victorian red brick homes and impressive mansion blocks lining the neighbourhood’s streets most large townhouses have been converted into apartments.
  • With a choice of 23 primary schools, seven secondary schools and three sixth form colleges West Hampstead is a smart choice for families looking for the best educational opportunities. There is a good range of different activities for children from a great local library to craft, sporting and dance classes.
