Set in the heart of Hampstead, a beloved London village with a rich cultural past and present, this gorgeous family abode blends antique furnishings with modern elements to create a space that’s fresh and homely. There’s an open-concept living area at its core – make yourself comfortable on the elegant camel-back sofa as the appointed cook of your clan gets to work in the glossy kitchen. In the mornings, if it’s nice out, take your breakfast beside Basil the tortoise on the jungle-inspired patio. When the weather takes a turn, retreat to the sitting room and curl up on the squishy couch with a milky cup of tea and a novel plucked from the bookcase. Before ticking off the blue plaques that adorn the walls of local buildings, take a gentle stroll through the heath, just thirteen minutes from your doorstep. Mosey along Hampstead High Street for trendy coffee houses, acclaimed gastro-pubs, one-of-a-kind homeware boutiques and treasure trove bookshops. Should you need to nip into central, it’s a fifteen-minute tube ride to Tottenham Court Road.

Local guide


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.
