Originally a tiny rural hamlet, the neighbourhood of Cricklewood sits 5 miles north-west of Charing Cross and spans the boundaries of 3 London Boroughs: Barnet, Brent and Camden. A popular family suburb of the city, Cricklewood benefitted from almost £2,000,000 worth of redevelopment funding in 2012. This saw some new developments of rented homes being built and a new wave of people entering the area. Cricklewood boasts some lovely high streets lined with local London businesses, two charming conservation areas and plenty of period homes ripe for renting. All of which are well-connected to the rest of the city, with plentiful transport links and a thriving and diverse community spirit.
