Honestly there is no bad aspects of living on my street .

This area is very suitable for families and pets. There is some regenerating going on nearby but it’s still trendy and upmarket.

Transport

Transport wise we have buses and train stations on our doorsteps with very regular services including night buses. Buses from my area go to most destinations around London and so do the train stations which is Chalk Farm camden Belsize Park and Hampstead with also Gospel Oak overground services also frequent. Only downfall is Rush hour time when travelling by bus it can get into a traffic jam but that’s because of the narrowing roads and also a lot road work going on .

Community

Lots of parking bays for pay and Display for visitors. Residents have there own bay outside. My area where I live is very respectful and quiet no noise pollution or traffic noise on an odd occasion you might hear the odd noise but that’s just young youths for you today. There is no anti social behaviour that I can report on. Refuse Bins are regularly collected so there’s no overflowing rubbish found . My area is very quiet mostly owners and renters live here with family’s and probably the odd 1 or 2 students around.

Amenities

Well I live on the verge of Chalk Farm going up towards Belsize Park/Hampstead and on the other side I have camden lock just 5 mins away from me . Camden lock is known for its busy trading and is a well known spot for tourists. It has a rich culture and full of history. We have plenty of souvenir shops clothes and all varieties of food stalls and shops. From modern to retro and antique clothes and household ornaments. Anything you want you can find in camden lock. Camden High street is also known for its busy restaurants and nightlife. There’s always lots to do and see. This is situated over the camden canal where during summer you can hire boat rides and go up and down the canal . Now for open space park wise parallel to me is primrose hill open park which is a huge open space and also we have Hampstead Heath park with kids area lido, boating area, tennis courts, running tracks and play area . So I guess I have the best of both which is hectic & busy and also for a quiet life I have the blissful parks. Never a dull moment here.

A wonderful community, accessible and welcoming to all!

A few local community shops and cafes have been taken down due to rent prices increasing and replaced by chain restaurants and stores which gravely upset many members of the community.

Transport

The methods of transport are very abundant in the area with multiple bus stops on every Street the overground and underground just a few minutes walk from the centre of the area. They come frequently during the day although there is a lack of transport methods during the night which makes it hard to come or go from 11 onwards.

Community

there are many parking spaces available to those who live on the street. The bin collection is frequent enough and always on time. Although located near a main road there isn’t much traffic noise. The inhabitants of the street are mainly families, a few of which have lived here through more than one generation. There are a couple of students which share houses but they don’t ever conduct anti- social behaviour. The street has a group chat to ensure constant communication is kept up to keep spirits high during these difficult times and help if anyone is in need.

Amenities

This area consists of many small local family owned shops which truly bring a authentic atmosphere to the area. The tangible sense of community makes one feel at home regardless of where you come from. The bars all have their own individuality with kind, joyful workers who know and love the community they reside in. The small parks spotted around the area is filled with picnicking families and dogs going on their daily run. This area is truly the nicest I have ever lived in.

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
