South Hampstead Houses, Flats & Apartments

South Hampstead Estate Agents - South Hampstead Lettings Agents

South Hampstead is a stately area between West End Lane, Belsize Road, Finchley Road and Broadhurst Gardens; although for those not familiar with the boundaries the area is not easily distinguishable from nearby Swiss Cottage.

The area is served by South Hampstead railway station in Loudoun Road, London NW8, in the London Borough of Camden. The London Overground train route is between Euston to Watford junction. The actual station building is quite notable as it was built in the 1960s "brick lavatory" style, to replace an earlier building.

The area provides a mixture of residential style properties, ranging from the original semi-detached houses, to the large mansion blocks, garden maisonettes and the double fronted conversions. The area is much sought due to the extremely roomy interiors of these types of properties.

South Hampstead remains a largely protected conservation area by The Heath and Hampstead Society, founded in 1897 who continue to preserve the outstanding architecture.

Until the mid-nineteenth century, South Hampstead was agricultural land belonging at one time to a Priory build in 1134 for a group of nuns. In 1536 Henry 7th dissolved the Priory and unfortunately there are no remains left today.

Though now entirely rebuilt, Abbey Road is one of the oldest in the district, and was once a path through fields from London to Kilburn Priory. The road is named after Westminster Abbey to which the Priory belonged. Alexandra Road was built soon after the marriage of Princess Alexandra and the Prince of Wales 1863.

A short stretch of housing on the road still has the original four storey houses, which are now converted into flats. Fairfax Road was originally known as Victoria Road and was renamed in 1870 as a tribute to General Fairfax (who died in 1671).

Along the Western side of Fairfax Road there is a range of shops and popular restaurants.
