What do you think of Hampstead in London?

Question

What do you think of Hampstead in London?

Answer 1

I love Hampstead! We lived there for 6 months and I was very sad to leave (we only moved 1 tube stop away so I am still close by). There is just a different feel to Hampstead, they have some great places to eat, shop, historical sites to visit, plus the Heath, tons of playgrounds for kids.

Answer 2

One of the best places to live in North London, except The Area Of Primrose Hill, Regent's Park, South Camden. Hampstead Heath area is probably my favorite part of the area as it has a village like setting. All around Hampstead there are many rich people in their classy homes. One downer is Hampstead Heath (the park) at night like many other London Parks, as they are not the safest places at this time of day, during the day though they are great places to be. It is an expensive area to buy or rent a house but keep on looking around.

If you are looking for a house then go on http://www.rightmove.co.uk/ then choose the underground map. There are many Hampstead stations so choose the most central one and change the mile radius to what you think is right.

I live in Kensington which I love which is not much more central, but is a h**l of a lot busier with tourists.

Answer 3

Well I live in Hampstead and I love it. It's a lovely area, with loads of nice restaurants and cafes. It's also got the Heath nearby which is beautiful when its warm. And there is a great community feeling. There are few places in London where a stranger can say good morning or good evening to you, and not be looked at as a weirdo!

Answer 4

Too full of very rich & s****. people who make you feel unwelcome.

Answer 5

Very nice area, if you can afford it!

Answer 6

its a very affluent area of london and most people would consider it a desirable place to live! very very expensive though! :)
