The Primrose Hill Studio was initially built for artists in the mid-19th century to live and work in – over the years many famous British artists have lived here including J.W. Waterhouse, Arthur Rackham, and more recently, John Hoyland and Patrick Caulfield. Adorned with books, one-of-a-kind artwork and laid-back designs, this is a space perfect for creatives who draw inspiration from their surroundings. Neutral tones provide a blank canvas for a relaxing space, while the occasional pop of colour seen through fun accessories liven up the interiors with style. We particularly love the original features such as the solid oak wooden flooring, double-height ceilings and the marble fireplace that hone in on the home's old charm and typically London character. Perched on top of the hill just minutes away from Camden or Regents Park – you're bound to feel inspired here. Discover the trendy bars and cafes within walking distance or immerse yourself in the local nature found at Primrose Hill Regent's Park, only a five-minute stroll away.

About Primrose Hill

Primrose Hill is easy to fall in love with. With its beautiful pastel-coloured townhouses, winding high street packed with charming independent restaurants and boutiques, it has a similar feel to Notting Hill but without all the tourists piling down Portobello Road. Its relaxed village feel makes it hard to believe that you are in fact just a thirty minute walk away from the hustle and bustle of the West End....
