LOCAL AREA<br />
Perched on a hill in north-west London,<br />
Hampstead is somewhere rather special.<br />
With a unique community spirit, and<br />
a rural feel thanks to the vast Heath,<br />
‘the Village’ couldn’t be better named.<br />

THE WORLD<br />
From its starring appearances in films<br />
and books to the plethora of famous<br />
residents, Hampstead has been<br />
popular for many years. Its beauty<br />
is legendary – think winding lanes,<br />
Georgian terraces and of course the<br />
wild and glorious Heath – and there’s<br />
an unmistakable creative vibe that<br />
thrums wherever you go.<br />
Known as the ‘world’s finest urban<br />
village’, the area has artistic and<br />
literary connections going back<br />
generations. There are over 60 blue<br />
plaques in Hampstead, including the<br />
home of Keats and Freud, the most of<br />
any part of London.<br />
Today, that history results in an<br />
upmarket yet eclectic area, offering<br />
a heavenly mix of high-end amenities,<br />
quirky attractions and an endless<br />
variety of open space. Above all,<br />
it’s packed with character, where<br />
independent traders are prized<br />
and artisans treated with sincere<br />
reverence.<br />
Cultured, warm, welcoming and<br />
more than a little easy on the eye,<br />
Hampstead is the sort of place<br />
that people fall in love with quickly<br />
– and find very hard to leave.<br />
