In 1837, Primrose Hill formed part of the English countryside. The closest rural place to the “great metropolis” that was 19th-century London.

In 1837, Primrose Hill formed part of the English countryside. The closest rural place to the “great metropolis” that was 19th-century London. Some 200 years later, Primrose Hill remains the first village you encounter as you walk north from Marylebone, through The Regent’s Park. From the 1840s, Eton College began the development of the land north of the hill - from farmland to a new enclave of housing for the wealthy middle classes - forming the Eton College Estate, with King Henry’s Road one of its original thoroughfares. Now, Primrose Hill encapsulates the best of London living. Green and pleasant, at the foot of Hampstead. Connected to the city via a walk of just over 1.5 miles, through two Royal Parks. Occupying the entire garden and raised ground floor levels of a semi-detached Victorian Villa, with its own entrance and a private south facing garden extending to over 80 feet. With reception spaces and a principal bedroom more often associated with larger, single residences, King Henry’s Road is a spacious, laterally arranged home, perfect for modern living. Swiss Cottage Underground (Jubilee Line) is less than 0.5 of a mile, Chalk Farm (Northern Line) is just over 0.6 miles. From here, Bond Street and St Pancras International are reachable within ten minutes, and Heathrow and London City each within forty-five.
