Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

We live in Belsize Park, one of London's best areas, between Hampstead and Primrose Hill, about 3km from central London. Many of our exchange partners have said it is their ideal location for visiting London. Our apartment comprises the first floor of an 1870s townhouse in a leafy conservation area. It is on the corner of a wide tree-lined street and looks over gardens front and back. It is calm, comfortable, and quiet, with high ceilings and tall windows so it gets plenty of light all day. There is central heating, internet access (Broadband and wi-fi), Sony HD tv, pvr, Blu-Ray and cd players, and many books, magazines, films, and music cds (mainly jazz and classical) which you are welcome to use.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Belsize Park is an attractive, lively and well-to-do part of north London, on a hill, next to the better-known Hampstead. The local area is mainly residential, largely built in the 1860s, with wide tree-lined streets and rows of semi-detached Italianate villas like ours. Further up the hill is Hampstead village with its fine 18th century buildings, picturesque lanes and terraces, and smart shops and restaurants. This area of London is well known for its historical and cultural associations and is very rewarding to explore.

For walks, picnics and wonderful views, three of London's largest green spaces are nearby: Hampstead Heath is 10 minutes walk to the north of us, with 791 acres of open fields, woods, hills and ponds; Primrose Hill and Regent's Park are 15 minutes walk down the hill towards central London. In good weather one of our favourite walks is through the two parks and their beautiful gardens into the West End, which takes about 40 minutes from our place.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

We are a few minutes walk from buses into central London and from Belsize Park Tube station (Zone 2 on the Northern Line), then it is 10-15 minutes to the West End. The London Overground train station at Hampstead Heath is 10 minutes walk. We are 4 Tube stops to the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International and its fast trains to Brussels, Paris and beyond.

The main shopping street is near the Tube station, on Haverstock Hill, where there is a large late-opening supermarket, an excellent greengrocer, a cinema, bookshop, bank, and several brasserie-style cafes.
