Belsize Park Area Guide

Belsize Park is fast becoming one of the most sought-after residential areas of North London.

A strong sense of local community and an abundance of green space on the doorstep combined with easy transport links to central London and beyond mean residents can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Belsize Park fact file

  • The name Belsize Park comes from the French meaning ‘beautifully situated’.
  • The area underwent significant development in the mid-19th century and many of the attractive Victorian properties built in this era remain today.
  • Its bohemian heritage is evidenced by notable former residents, including Cubist painter Mondrian, German philosopher Karl Marx and musician Noel Gallagher.
  • Primrose Hill is nearby, which has some of the best panoramic views of the London skyline taking in St Paul’s Cathedral, the Shard and the neighbouring Regent’s Park.
  • Architecture is so varied in the area, with minimalist modern buldings and gorgerous art deco style.

Shopping and amenities

Shops can be found at the O2 Centre on the Finchley Road, which is also home to a multiscreen Vue cinema and Virgin Active gym.

Green space

Belsize Park occupies a fabulous position between the open green spaces of Hampstead Heath and Primose Hill. The vast 790-acre Hampstead Heath is a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation and encompasses ancient woodland, meadows, open-air swimming ponds for a bracing dip and a range of family friendly facilities.

What does our local Hamptons community think

Great experience with Hamptoms as we were looking for a flat to rent. Shayan was friendly and helpful helping us going through the whole process, and we have now secured a flat we are happy with and have been warmly welcomed into.

Flora February 2024

I bought my flat in Belsize Park through Mark at Hamptons. He was really helpful, gave great advice and really supported both the seller and I through the process. He also gave excellent recommendations of support services and generally was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks so much Mark, and, I'm super happy with the flat : )

Pippa Martin April 2023

Great team, very supportive and totally professional. Mark Gulrajani really helpful & always came back to us super fast. What more could you want...well maybe the Hamptons team being Arsenal supporters rather than Spurs!
