Belsize Park
Our guide
Belsize Park has a slower pace than central London, with lots of mews houses, cobbled streets and Victorian architecture. It’s an affluent area, popular with families looking for a more ‘village’ feel. With easy access to Hampstead Heath, and with great schools, it can be easy to see why so many choose to settle here.

Where can I grab a morning coffee?
Belsize Organic is a new addition to Belsize Park – but has been accepted pretty quickly by the local community. With great fresh coffee, it also sells groceries, and has a small amount of outside seating, perfect to grab a drink post dog walk.
What are 3 restaurants to go to for dinner?
Aperivinio on the Square is a great wine bar, with outdoor seating and a food menu. Great for stopping whilst exploring north west London for a drink and a snack!

Tettos Hampstead brings a bit of glamour to the area, with a maximalist décor, this steakhouse serve food under kloshes with dry ice….we love the drama!

Saturdays would be spent exploring either Hampstead Heath or Regent's Park, ideally with a four legged friend, before enjoying a long lunch in the sun outside in Belsize Park Village.
Where’s the best place to be if you want to be outdoors?
One of the huge bonus’ of this area is it’s proximity to not one, but several of London's best parks/green space. Within walking distance of Hampstead Heath, Regent's Park and Primrose Hill you are spoilt for choice – it’s the nearest thing to being in the countryside!
Does Belsize Park have any hidden gems?
The 20’s and 30’s saw Belsize Park and Hampstead home to many ‘of the time’ artists, and as such there are a number of galleries and museums that pay homage to that. Try the Isokon, 36 flats which housed many of the artists – and Agatha Christie at one time! It’s now a free exhibition and well worth a visit to soak up some of that history.
