"Primrose Hill! The first green step, north-westward, for the pavement-and-shop-tired-foot of this great metropolis"
– Leigh Hunt. The Idler, and Breakfast Table Companion, 1837
In 1837, Primrose Hill formed part of the English countryside. The closest rural place to the “great metropolis” that was 19th-century London.
​
Some 200 years later, Primrose Hill remains the first village you encounter as you walk north from Marylebone, through The Regent’s Park.
​
From the 1840s, Eton College began the development of the land north of the hill - from farmland to a new enclave of housing for the wealthy middle classes - forming the Eton College Estate, with King Henry’s Road one of its original thoroughfares.
​
Now, Primrose Hill encapsulates the best of London living. Green and pleasant, at the foot of Hampstead. Connected to the city via a walk of just over 1.5 miles, through two Royal Parks.
​
Occupying the entire garden and raised ground floor levels of a semi-detached Victorian Villa, with its own entrance and a private south facing garden extending to over 80 feet.
​
With reception spaces and a principal bedroom more often associated with larger, single residences, King Henry's Road is a spacious, laterally arranged home, perfect for modern living.
​
Swiss Cottage Underground (Jubilee Line) is less than 0.5 of a mile, Chalk Farm (Northern Line) is just over 0.6 miles. From here, Bond Street and St Pancras International are reachable within ten minutes, and Heathrow and London City each within forty-five.
