Living in Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill with its picturesque village and striking panoramic views of the city’s skyline is a popular and fashionable region of north London packed with chic independent shops and trendy restaurants that on a sunny day spill out on to the pavements.
The NW1 area, whose name derives from the flowers that grew on its grassy hill in the 15th century, is home to the “The Primrose Hill set” a group of British celebrities – including Kate Moss, Jude Law and Sadie Frost – whose glamorous lives and hell-raising antics raised the area’s profile in countless tabloid pages.
Bordering Regent’s Park northern edge and conveniently close to city centre, Primrose Hill’s beautifully multi-coloured Victorian terraces and tree-lined streets have stood the test of time and give the area a leafy and family feel that is lost in many other areas of London.
