Overview of NW5 1XE, Kentish Town

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.

I don't feel very safe in my area - especially at night. I would not walk around alone. I have witnessed people harassed. However, some of the shop owners are lovely and welcoming. I think the area is in need of regeneration and it is not very trendy. It can be very quiet. The area is suitable for pets. I like most that the area is well connected - as I don't have a car and travelling is the most important thing to me. Secondly, there is a police station close by which makes me feel slightly safer - for when I run into trouble.

Transport

The connections where are live are really good. There is kentish town tube station and national railway not more than a 10 minute walk away and an overground station too. Many bus stops around the area. Very well connected - easy to travel without a car

Community

There is not much traffic noise - the area is quiet and there are some nice people about. Bin collections are regular.

Amenities

There are a range of supermarkets and quite a few bars but more pubs. The supermarkets are good as there are quite a few different ones - so you can find what you need. Thete are a lot of butchers and private stores as well with plenty of good products. There are some open spaces however they dont feel very safe. The restaurants and pubs tend to have a large variety of god quality food that accomdate most dietary requirements. I feel that the area doesn't feel very safe though because of the types of people about. I don't feel we are missing any amenities- maybe a shopping centre for clothes would be nice. There are plenty of charity shops that may have what you need clothing wise though.
