Filled with old-world charm, this bright apartment in Swiss Cottage dazzles with beautiful period features, like high ceilings, a decorative fireplace, original shutters and huge sash windows. Light pours in through the living room’s floor-to-ceiling panes, with peaceful views of the neighbours’ garden creating a tranquil setting for meals around the window-side table and evenings relaxing on the sofas with a glass of wine. Head out to your private balcony for morning coffees ahead of a day of sightseeing, or end nights on a high with an alfresco nightcap. The bedrooms are simple yet elegant, with more antiques and curios giving them plenty of character, as well as a library of books in one to make unwinding before bedtime blissful. When you’re not hanging out in your chic home, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a twenty-minute walk from both Hampstead Heath and Regent’s Park, while a thirty-minute stroll will take you to bustling Camden. We recommend packing an evening picnic and climbing to the top of Primrose Hill (twenty minutes away on foot) to watch a spectacular sunset over the city.

About Hampstead

Hampstead is pretty irresistable. It's not right in the centre of London but it's a real oasis to come back to at the end of a day of hectic sightseeing and there's plenty to explore here in its own right. Your neighbours will be a mix of affluent intellectual types: London's top psychiatrists, book publishers, writers etc. They are attracted by Hampstead's village atmosphere, vast array of characterful period houses, independent shops and restaurants and, last but by no means least, the delights of the vast green expanses of Hampstead Heath, with its much-loved wild swimming ponds.
