About Hampstead
Hampstead has been a settlement since Anglo-Saxon times, with the name meaning "homestead" or "farm." The area developed as a spa town in the 18th century when chalybeate springs were discovered. The arrival of the Northern Line in 1907 transformed it into a desirable residential suburb while maintaining its village character.
The area has long attracted artists, writers, and intellectuals. Keats House, where the poet John Keats lived and wrote "Ode to a Nightingale," remains a major literary landmark. The Hampstead Conservation Area, established in 1968, was one of London's first and protects the area's unique architectural heritage.
Today's Hampstead retains its village atmosphere with independent boutiques, artisan cafes, and gastropubs along the High Street. The 790-acre Hampstead Heath provides a natural escape with Parliament Hill offering panoramic views across London. The area is known for its thriving arts scene, excellent schools, and tight-knit community feel despite being just 4 miles from central London.
Properties here command premium prices, reflecting the area's prestige, excellent schools (including UCS and South Hampstead High), and unmatched green space access.
