It's quite posh yet affordable at the same time

About my area I like the fact that is very trendy, close to central London, well linked to central and north London and with a lot of respectful people living here. Having a lot of green spaces all around the area is perfect for pets and children to go for a walk or spend some time outside. I love the fact that we have a lot of bars, pubs and restaurants just around the corner, we have Hampstead heath just about 20 minutes away and a lot of supermarkets and organic food stores and butchers to choose your favourite source of food. It's an extremely safe area having the West Hampstead police station just around the corner. The atmosphere is great especially on the weekend when people fill the pubs and bars and go for walks in the parks. Everyone is friendly, respectful and considerate. That said I strongly believe this is one of the best areas to live in, with a diverse population in general yet keeping it's English originality!

Transport

The transport links are impressive with a lot of buses like 139, 328, 113, 13, C11 linking our area to Kilburn and all the way to north & central London! There's 24h night buses as well which link the area to central London. The buses take about 35-40 minutes to get to Oxford Street and they arrive, every around 5-7 minutes or 20-30 minutes during night time. Also there's the West Hampstead tube station which is served by the Jubilee line and is one of the fastests ways to get to central London, it only takes 9 minutes to get there. There's also the West Hampstead overground station just opposite to the underground station and a West Hampstead Thameslink station connecting the neighbourhood to Luton & Brighton! The underground station is very clean & the jubilee line is one of the fastests, most reliable lines in the underground system. Extremely clean with Air conditioning in summer time when the heat is unbearable in other tube lines. Regarding the cycle routes, the area has have an excellent cycling route which can take you to central London in about 15-20 minutes if you follow Finchley road, quite safe and easy going through Regents park or Hyde Park. The traffic is heavy during some specific rush hours but it's like in every other London neighbourhood after all, yet the drivers are very respectful of pedestrians, cyclists, etc. In general the transport links in nw6 are one of the best in all London!

Community

My street is one of the best streets in the area, very quiet with friendly and respectful neighbours. There's parking availability but it's only for the residents so it's more difficult for people from other areas to find parking if they come to visit. There's regular bin collection and it works very smoothly. I haven't seen any anti-social behaviour so far, like I said it's quite a friendly street with lovely people. There isn't traffic noise at all because it's a residential street and only a few cars pass from here. Regarding the residents, the majority of the residents are English families, mostly owners, with few houses that have students and couples who rent. It's a very safe street with West Hampstead police station being just seconds away.

Amenities

In my opinion Nw6 is one of the best districts to live in, in London! Incorporating the areas of West Hampstead, Kilburn, Brondesbury and Queen's Park, is one of the safest areas to live in especially the West Hampstead area. It's quite posh yet affordable at the same time compared to the nearby Hampstead area which is about 10 minutes walking distance. Quite an exclusive area, with a lot of shops, bars, pubs, fashion shops in the West end, hairdresser salons, quality butchers, etc. Some of the shops that there's on the area include the Hampstead butcher & Providor for it's quality meat, also there's quite a few flower shops, the West Hampstead Library, the weekly farmer's market and a lot of bars including Alice House, the Gallery. Black Lion, Bobby Fitzpatrick, the Alliance etc For a taste of Eastern Europe there's the Czech & Slovak pub serving draft beers and food. Regarding the restaurants there's a lot of nice restaurants around the area like the Cedar restaurant, the wet fish cafe, Ham, Banana tree serving different cuisines, as well as a lot of sushi places, Lebanese cuisine restaurants, Nandos, Dominos pizza, McDonalds, Burger King, Kebab shops and shisha bars which serve food as well. Also there's a lot of supermarkets nearby, there's 2 Tescos just a short distance from each other, Sainsbury's, a bigger Sainsbury's in Finchley Road, a Lidl about 20 minutes away and Iceland again on Finchley Road. Also a lot of organic food stores with quality veggies. There's quite a few gyms and parks nearby with Hampstead heath which is one of the most popular parks in London being only 20 minutes away. In general a lot of green all around! In my honest opinion this area has everything a resident could ask for and it's not missing absolutely anything!

during the first lockdown, a local musician used to hold outdoor (socially distanced) concerts that the street would attend.

We’re a very communal area - during the first lockdown, a local musician used to hold outdoor (socially distanced) concerts that the street would attend. Theres a variety of Whatsapp groups, and everyone knows everyone and likes to help out, especially at the moment. There’s a lot of schools and nurseries nearby, and combined with the local park, makes this an ideal place for families or expectant couples. It also feels like everyone has a dog - you can always spot people out dogwalking and chatting to other dogwalkers too. Pets and children are pretty common. The only real disadvantage for me is that there’s not really many people around my age (now 20) which was annoying growing up, but the area has become much more social than when I was a child - not that it wasn’t social then, it just is even more so now!

Transport

West Hampstead Tube is a bit of a walk but is very well connected - same for the Thameslink and Overground. Buses are readily available and take you to a variety of places. Many bus routes, and the Jubilee at West Hampstead, run 24 hours on weekends. Rush hour gets a bit difficult - tubes are busy in the morning, and buses are awful at the end of the school day. However, other than that transport is fairly easy. The timetables are pretty regular and you’re rarely left waiting for transport.

Community

My street is mostly made up of families (often with young children) or elderly couples, and from what I know, primarily home-owners. Around the time of things like local fairs, the streets can get quite busy, but normally traffic is minimal, and virtually non-existant at night. Parking can be a bit more difficult, but you’ll usually find somewhere after a couple laps round the block.

Amenities

Fortune Green Park and the cemetery make for beautiful walks; a variety of independent restaurants and cafés; charity shops, pubs and bars in abundance. You can find all types of cuisine locally. Larger supermarkets are a small distance away, but theres many smaller ones (Tesco Extra, Sainsbury’s Local etc) readily available. Boutique shops (for clothes) and independent cafes and restaurants prove more expensive but definitely worthwhile. And there’s plenty of options for an after-work drink.

I like how relaxed it is over the weekend, the hussle and bustle during the week can get tiring.
