Perched on a hill with panoramic views across the city, Highgate offers residents an upmarket London village life.
Living in Highgate
Highgate faces Hampstead over the Heath, and, like Hampstead, features predominantly Georgian and Victorian architecture.
Highgate is an upmarket community sandwiched between vast parks and straddling the boroughs of Haringey and Camden. Its higher elevations give great views over Hampstead Heath and on to London.
Highgate's pricey properties (although not as dear as those in neighbouring Hampstead) primarily attract affluent homebuyers.
A quintessential and quirky English village which centres on Pond Square where, after years of living with what was essentially stagnant water, the residents filled in the pond there is now a campaign to re-instate it.
The High Street has many unique independent shops with a very village feel to them. However, residents tend to travel to Hampstead or into the West End to meet their more specific needs.
Highgate is renowned for its restaurants, bars, pubs and coffee shops which cater for all tastes. The West End offers a wider choice but closer to home, Primrose Hill offers some alternatives.
Highgate is well served for schools, most notably by Highgate School (for boys) and Channing School (for girls), as well as a good selection of state schools.
There are also a number of excellent choices of schools in nearby Hampstead, both private and government funded. The two City of London Schools and Westminster School are popular with Highgate residents.
Transport
There is a tube station in Highgate, which is on the High Barnet/Mill Hill branch of the Northern Line.
A number of bus routes operate from Highgate into the City and the West End. For more detailed information on travelling around London and congestion charges visit www.tfl.gov.uk.
History and culture
It was whilst standing on Highgate Hill that Dick Whittington heard the infamous Bow Bells ringing in the East End of London and decided to return to London to what proved to be a very successful career.
In 1832, St Michael's Church, London's highest church, was built on Highgate Hill to accommodate the community's growing population. Seven years later, Highgate Cemetery, Karl Marx's famous resting place, was laid out.
Of all the inns and pubs in Highgate, The Gatehouse is probably the oldest. Its nineteenth century owners claimed that there had been a licensed building on the site since 1337.
From its days next to the toll gate through its use as a meeting house and courtroom, The Gatehouse has had a chequered history. Byron, Cruikshank and Dickens all used its services.
Waterlow Park is a 26 acre park provided by the benevolent Sydney Waterlow as a garden for the gardenless. The views and pristine gardens are lovely and the Park also features open-air concerts during the summer.
