Advantages: vibrant and live

Disadvantages: none really

When I first arrived in London after finishing college many moons ago, I was lucky enough to find a flat-share in Hampstead from the Evening Standard. I lived there for 2 years. I didn''t know the area before I moved in, but was really, pleasantly surprised at what a great place it is to live in London. It was then - still is - very cosmopolitan and vibrant but is now far less bohemian and colourful; it is so much more expensive now to buy or rent there than ever it was.

Nevertheless, the Heath has been well preserved and the whole area is a fabulous amenity so close to the heart of London. Transport links are pretty good - the no 24 bus still goes from South End Green through to the West End and down to Westminster where I used to work, then there is the Northern Line to Belsize Park and Hampstead as well as the overground from Hampstead Heath.

Summary: worth visitng
