Hampstead in 60 secondstoggle-icon

Rising high above the city skyline, along cobbled streets, down private mews and across heathland, handsome Hampstead is an affluent North West London neighbourhood, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, picturesque streets, and the vast expanses of the Heath that bears its name. The area boasts a colourful community, excellent schools, and a plethora of exciting eating and watering holes. Its blend of village charm and city convenience makes it one of London's most desirable postcodes. At the heart of the area, and the essential ingredient of its personality, lies bucolic Hampstead Heath: a sprawling, largely untouched 790-acre park offering woodlands, meadows, ponds for public bathing, and Kenwood House, renowned for its summertime concerts. The Heath provides panoramic views of the city from Parliament Hill and is a popular spot for walking, kite flying and picnics. The nearby high street is lined with an eclectic mix of boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, while the wider neighbourhood – which extends to Highgate and its iconic cemetery – also features famous traditional pubs and weekly markets, adding to its village-like charm. Hampstead has been home to many notable figures throughout history. Both Sigmund Freud and John Keats have museums named in their honour, while the artists like John Constable and writers like George Orwell also lived in the area, contributing to its rich cultural tapestry – also emphasised by numerous theatres, galleries, and music venues. With its blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and modern amenities, Hampstead provides a truly unique and desirable living environment in London.

We had an amazing experience finding our new flat with Roni. She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us through every step. She even went the extra mile to check specific measurements for our furniture. Roni is a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients, and she even gave us a courtesy call after we moved in to make sure everything was perfect. We highly recommend reaching out to her if you're looking to move into the area!

I had the opportunity to work with Robert Lerner and Roni Bathaei from Knight Frank in April to find a rental property. This particular month is not an easy one, as housing availability is limited. Nevertheless, they did a fantastic job of finding us a nice house, with a smooth interaction with the landlord. We are delighted with how things were handled and the result itself. I would highly recommend working with Knight Frank.

We dealt with Roni in rental, who was very helpful and proactive. She guides us through our rental options and helped us view early in what was, quite frankly, a shoddy market at the time. Highly recommended.

Yasmin and Katy did a terrific job selling our home in Hampstead. We saw four agents and decided to go with Knight Frank as sole agent. Of the four agents, Knight Frank were most ambitious on price - however they delivered. We were really pleased with the professional and personable service. Recommend highly.
