Living in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Hampstead Garden Suburb is run by a trust that preserves the special qualities of this elite area of North London.
Founded by Henrietta Barnett in 1907, Hampstead Garden Suburb is about 7 miles from the centre of London and is home to 13,000 residents. It lies mostly to the south of the A1 Lyttelton Road, east of Kingsley Way, west of The Bishops Avenue and north of Hampstead Lane.
The 'Suburb' is renowned for its high quality housing stock, which includes terraces of houses and flats built in the 1920s. The area also features substantial, semi-detached houses, often mock-Tudor 1930s' detached houses with classic, rounded bay windows and magnificent mansions, most notably in The Bishops Avenue, that command many millions.
Property north of Lyttelton Road is mostly purpose-built bocks of apartments set in leafy streets and gardens.
Probably the greatest joy from living in Hampstead Garden Suburb is the abundance of expansive green land.
Lyttleton Playing Fields are at the heart of the 'Suburb', and Hampstead Golf Course and Hampstead Heath Extension mark the southern border. To the east lie the great greens and fairways of Highgate Golf Course and to the west is the Big Wood.
Hampstead Garden Suburb has a few local shops but there is plenty of shopping, entertainment and restaurants in neighbouring Golders Green and Hampstead.
Muswell Hill, which lies to the north-east of Hampstead Garden Suburb, offers a vast selection of shops, banks and major stores such as Marks & Spencer and Sainsburys.
