The Hampstead Garden Suburb lies between Hampstead and Highgate, just to the North of the Heath and only another half a mile further out of London. But in this instance, half a mile makes all the difference and the Garden Suburb represents a different style of living. Laid out to a Lutyens design, the houses are predominantly low-built and arts and crafts in style, with off-street parking and good sized gardens.

The price of more suburban living is a shortage of amenities. All shopping has to be done by car. The Bishops Avenue is probably the best known road in North London flanked with mansions that seem to be immune from any local planning regulations.

Henrietta Barnet School for Girls regularly heads the National League Tables.
