A planned development that came about at the turn of the 20th century, Hampstead Garden Suburb has been described by architecture writer Nicolaus Pevsner as “that most nearly perfect example of the English invention and speciality: the garden suburb”. Sitting pretty in the London Borough of Barnet in north-west London, Hampstead Garden Suburb is just north of Hampstead. A planned elevated suburb of the capital, it has several landscaped garden squares, green spaces and communal parks. It’s well favoured by families raising children and is just four miles from central London – not that you’d know it by walking around. The architecture of Hampstead Garden Suburb is protected by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, giving unique opportunities for homes to rent.
