Overview of NW3 4EX, Lancaster Grove, Belsize Park
NW3 4EX is in London, in Camden borough. From a total of 29 reviews, it is scored 4.31 out of 5, meaning it’s one of the best rated places to live in this area. 13 reviewers, out of 29 total, rated NW3 4EX 5 stars. Comments written by these locals include ‘Great area of North London’. However, not all reviewers were as positive, with one saying ‘It’s trendy here but a lot needs to be done to make it safer’.Polluted and boring but with great potential.
The place is in serious need of more greenery. The pollution is bad and there aren’t proper green spaces around. Finchley Road doesn’t have a single tree, it is the ugliest place in the area. I avoid going to the shops there because it is just a depressing sight. There’s a university dedicated to music in Kilburn, not far, and I find it sad that there aren’t more spaces for live music or socialise. My area is very close to central, has great transport links and it has a shopping centre and spaces that could potentially become more interesting. The lack of option for sustainable living is overwhelming, the area could do with something like that, although I fear those things tend to be overpriced. The farmer’s market by the library is a joke, there’s three stalls and two have already made food. The library can’t be used to study because teenagers can’t keep it down and the staff doesn’t give a crap about it. It’s a real shame because the place is huge and has tons of interesting stuff. The gym by Swiss Cottage is okay, but overcrowded so it’s impossible to book anything. The Virgin one in the O2 centre is too expensive.
Transport
Public transport in the area is very good: lots of trains options and buses. There are also good cycling routes. Finchley Road is Sergio though, there’s always traffic, cycling there is disgusting and dangerous.
Community
The best thing about it is the one stop to Euston train as well as the option of the jubilee line. You can be in central in 15min. However, it generally feels safe and I don’t mind walking home alone at night. The Tesco opened until 11 everyday is also very convenient. I’m not sure the kind of people who live in my street but I have seen a bit of everything: families, young people, teens... people in my building don’t seem too social and those who are, have young children. I do think depending on the side of the road you get different things since one side of the road has nice houses and the ones in the other side look like they’re falling apart.
Amenities
There are several shops and restaurants in Finchley Road. They’re not amazing though, three or four pharmacies (do we need that many?) and all the boring coffee places like costa, Starbucks and Pret. The restaurants and bars are not that good either: an expensive kebab place, a yo sushi were they ignore you, and more and more chains. There seems to be a lot but nothin that’s interesting. There is a nice café and a cool Japanese shop by Finchley Road station, Oliver Bonas, Waterstones and Paperchase in the O2 centre, good for buying presents. Saynsburys in the O2 is pretty good, as well as Waitrose. Everything else is just awe full. Towards Kilburn it gets worse although TK Max makes it a bit more interesting. Pubs are nowhere to be found except for the Swiss Cottage (which doesn’t have the best beer, but is better than nothing) and the wine bar by South Hampstead, which is probably one of the best places around. You’ve got to walk far (towards Saint John’s Wood) to see something a little more interesting. There aren’t many green spaces, and Finchley Road is probably one of the greyest places in North London. It’s a road made for cars which everyone who lives around hates.
Great area of North London
Very trendy and sort after area of Northwest London. Great local schools and parks for children.
Transport
We are in walking distance to two tube stations, Calk Farm on the Northen line being the closest and Swiss Cottage on the Jubilee line being a little further. Bus services are great around the area with a number of bus routes with in walking distance. We’ve had a little traffics issue recently with HS2 work being done on the main road but it seems to be easing now. Morning rush hour is always a little cray with school runs happening. All in all transportation is heat in the area.
Community
We live on Adelaide road with is a main road in the area and traffic noise can be an issue but you get used to it, other than that we have no noise issues no anti social behaviour problems in the area. Our area is well kept and very community bases. Bins are collected weekly along with recycling.
Amenities
We live in NW3 and love the area. We are situated not far from the Famous Primrose Hill royal park and love it and it’s accessibility and popularity. We have accesses to many shops from Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s local and a large Morrison’s aswell as a numerous number of small independent shops selling a range of different things and services. We also have the option of a selection of different restaurants, takeaway places and cafes. The community in the area is amazing and people are so friendly and welcome. We love where we live and wouldn’t change it for anytime.
It’s trendy here but a lot needs to be done to make it safer

Transport
There’s Chalk Farm station and Camden station there’s also Kentish Town station and the overground so there is a lot of travel
Community
I live on an estate so I have parking availability however there is a lot of traffic noise. Pretty much all renters most with the council
Amenities
Everything is going out of businesss it’s quite intimidating walking through Camden or Kentish Town at night as there is a lot to do with drugs going on
drawn to the charming village atmosphere, the vast, open, wild green spaces of Hampstead Heath and some of the best schools in London
