Belsize Park Property

Buying advice for property searching in Belsize Park, London

The arrival of various prominent celebrities since the 1990s has helped to change the common perception that Belsize Park is a secondary location, when it is in fact a vibrant and fashionable area.

The local architecture consists largely of white stucco-fronted Victorian houses, many of which have been converted into flats. Originally sold on leases from the Church Commissioners, the move to enfranchise – originally started in the 1970s by BUTA (Belsize United Tenants Association) – is now complete and there are very few properties still held on short leases.

Belsize Park (as opposed to Belsize Village) is centred around the underground station on Haverstock Hill and features the Screen on the Hill cinema and a good selection of delicatessens and smart bars. Belsize Village on Belsize Lane is quieter and prettier with a variety of shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

One of the principal attractions of Belsize Park is that during peak commuting times, it is 20 minutes closer by car to central London than Hampstead.
