Property Search - Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill is a hill is located on the north side of Regent's Park in North London England and also the name for the surrounding district. The hill has a clear view of Central London to the south-east as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north.
Like Regent's Park Primrose Hill was once part of a great chase appropriated by Henry VIII and became Crown property in 1841. In 1842 an Act of Parliament secured the land as public open space. The built up part of Primrose Hill consists mainly of Victorian terraces. It has always been one of the more fashionable districts in the urban belt that lies between the core of London and the outer suburbs and remains expensive and prosperous. Primrose Hill is an archetypal example of a successful London urban village due to the location and the quality of its socio-historical development
