Location and History 

Once a hunting ground of Henry VII, Primrose Hill is in postcode areas NW!, NW3 & NW8, and is a surprisingly steep green hill just north of Regent's Park in north London. The hill has a clear view of Central London to the south-east, as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north-west. It is lined with broad trees, and surrounded by houses which have beautiful architectural styles. The top of the hill, is in fact one of the six protected viewpoints of London.

It is believed that the hill was given its name from the primroses which flourished there in the 15th century. In the 18th century, the hill is known at dueling fights and prize fighting at dawn. And in the 19th century, fallouts from the Industrial Revolution, by establishing a boy's home on the corner of Regent's Park and King Henry's Roads. Then in the 20th century, women, children and bentleys, teamed up and successfully barricated roads to keep out the road warrior juggernauts in the seventies.

The built up part of Primrose Hill consists mainly of Victorian terraces. It is an upmarket, chic, known for its pubs that are relaxing and architecturally elegant, and has always been one of the most fashionable districts in the urban belt that lies between the core of London and the outer suburbs, and remains expensive and prosperous. It is well placed for easy access to the City and the West End. It has become popular with people in the arts and media, as well as entrepreneurs and professionals.
