Living in Belsize Park
Wedged in between Camden and Hampstead, Belsize Park has carved out a quiet north London niche for itself. Those who no longer want to live in the thick of things, but are not quite ready for the school run, find it suits them perfectly.
The area is close to the green spaces of Hampstead Heath, Regent's Park and Primrose Hill, and its wide leafy streets and attractive architecture give it a serene feel, despite being less than 15 minutes from the West End.
When compared to Hampstead, it's a younger area and slightly more affordable, which attracts lots of professional couples.
Amongst the many desirable neighbourhoods in Belsize park, 'The Crofts' (Ferncroft Avenue, Hollycroft Avenue, Rosecroft Avenue), 'The Stuccos' (Belsize Square, Belsize Park, Belsize Park Gardens, Buckland Crescent), Redington Road and Templewood Avenue are particularly popular.
Apartments are the most common property in Belsize Park. The majority of stock is period, with white stucco fronted houses and red brick properties in abundance.
For something different, there are the 1920s Art Deco apartment blocks along Englands Lane, and modern developments from the 60s and 70s with underground parking and spacious layouts.
Haverstock Hill has shops next to the tube station, but the attraction will always be the location, which allows great access to the surrounding amenities without them being on your doorstep.
Transport
Belsize Park has a tube station, with services on the Northern Line.
The best place to catch a bus is along Haverstock Hill, from where there are plenty of bus services connecting the area to central London.

History and culture
Belsize is derived from the French, Bel Assis, which actually means "beautifully situated". A cliché today perhaps, but no-one could argue against such a claim for this cosseted corner of north-west London.
Belsize Park (as opposed to Belsize Village) is centred around the underground station on Haverstock Hill and features the Screen on the Hill Cinema and a Waitrose, as well as a good selection of delicatessens and smart bars.
Belsize Village on Belsize Lane is quieter and prettier with a couple of restaurants, a wine merchants and a pub at the centre.
The nearest recreational facilities can be found on Hampstead Heath, however you will never be short of a good restaurant or café as Belsize Park has a good selection of both.
