0 km from your searchEverything you need right by the park
The area north of NW5 is very safe, quite posh and traditional, although quite multicultural as well in some places, especially around the tube stations. It is nice with children with several schools a walkable distance, and perfect for pets: it isn't rare to see cats walking around, and of course Hampstead Heath a few minutes away is dog heaven with a lot of furry friends walking around. I really like the feeling of being in a village with everything close and the park with a beautiful view on the city, all while being very close to Central London with transportation.
Transport
I find transportation very good. The tube (Kentish Town and Tufnell Park) could be a 10-15 minute walk depending on where you live in NW5, but there are buses everywhere, going everywhere in London. I find them really practical and cheap, and they run really often even at night. With the overground as well there are many options for transportation that are reliable, safe and clean. However during rush hours I would recommend the underground to go to Central London, as traffic can be unpredictable and buses can take longer than planned, so there are better for short distances.
Community
In my street there are mainly families and empty nesters or retired people, there doesn't seem to be many young children though so it is also very quiet but still lively. The main streets might be noisy but mine and most streets around are very quiet. I have seen no problem with parking availability, bin collection or anything else, and the streets are always very clean.
Amenities
There is everything someone could need around Kentish Town underground station: shops from the cheapest (Lidl) to the highest quality/organic cute shops and everything in between, bars around the main street, and every food option throughout the neighbourhood so no need to walk too far. There are also a lot of nice restaurants and shops around Tufnell Park station for those who live more north of NW5. You won't find much for clothes shopping but there's several charity shops, libraries, and also medical centres, banks, or anything needed. For events there is the O2 Forum, and Hampstead Heath is a few minutes away (the best part!) so you could easily never leave the neighbourhood. Transportation is really good as well with the Northern line, Overground, and buses going everywhere in London. NW5 is the perfect place to have a more relaxed lifestyle, by the park, with quiet streets but every amenity a short walk away - all while living only 20 minutes from central London and a walking distance from Camden. It might not be as vibrant as other London neighbourhoods though, maybe more adapted for families and professionals than students.
Chetwynd Rd, NW5 1DA0.3 km from your searchAmazing green spaces and a great community
I like the atmosphere and how close you are to some of the most amazing green spaces in London!
Transport
You’re never far from a bus stop, tube station or overground with great links from Gospel Oak or Hampstead to Clapham and Richmond, buses that take you direct into the central London too.
Community
I’d say it’s a quiet area, not much disruption however some roads don’t have the best parking but overall a friendly area to live, mostly families and couples live here with great access to primary and secondary schools for families.
Amenities
The shops are great, local corner shops nearby and a great range of cafes and brilliant butchers, lots of fun local pubs surround the area! Great green spaces such as Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood and Waterlow Park, dog and cat friendly area too.
Kentish Town, NW5 1XE0.5 km from your searchI live on a estate so I wouldn’t consider it trendy.
Many families live on my street so I would agree that it is suitable for children to grow up here, as I did. Pets are also common here with mostly cats dominating the street. I live on a estate so I wouldn’t consider it trendy. I feel safe in my area as I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced any crime against myself in this area.
Transport
Tufnell Park station is my local train station, which is 15 mins away to Kentish Town station. The transport links are very reliable with trains coming every couple of minutes. There is also multiple bus stops leading to places all over London e.g. towards Tottenham Court Road, Finsbury Park or Archway. The buses come fairly regularly and there is never really any traffic aside from the road coming up from Holloway which always seems to have traffic especially around the late afternoon. The buses and trains are cleaned to a decent standard.
Community
Mostly renters live on my street and contain families, old people and young couples. There is a sense of community as everyone is familiar with each other. Events are often held in the community centre and overall there is a good atmosphere amongst the residents.
Amenities
I live not 5 minutes from Tufnell park where there are a range of restaurants, pubs and food shops. For example, their is a beautiful Ethiopian restaurant that sits next to hair salon/nail bar. Along that road also sits a Sainsbury’s and a bakery. This road is also full of locals as well as those who come to see the community in full swing.
