Belsize Park is an area of North West London and is situated in the London Borough of Camden. It borders Kentish Town and Gospel Oak to the east, Primrose Hill to the south and Camden Town to the south east with Hampstead to the north and west.
The Manor of Belsize dates back to 1317 and its name is derived from the French ‘bel assis’ which means ‘well situated’ and the area has many street and thoroughfares with the name, such as Belsize Court, Belsize Gardens, Belsize Mews, Belsize Avenue, Belsize Square and Belsize Terrace to name a few. The name originates from the original 17th century manor house and parkland which was built by Daniel O’Neill for his wife, the Countess of Chesterfield. The estate was built up between 1852 and 1878 and by that time had extended as far as Haverstock Hill.
The construction of many blocks of flats began after World War I and today a large number of the larger houses in the area have also been converted into flats.
During World War II the area was heavily bombed and a large underground air-raid shelter was built and can still be seen close to Downside Crescent tube station. When the area was re-built the opportunity was taken to widen the pavements and build further back from the road.
Along Haverstock Hill and England’s Lane you will find many restaurants, pubs and cafes and this area is more spacious than Hampstead Village with wider roads. Some of the best views in London can be found on the 10 minute walk along from Hampstead Heath to Primrose Hill Park from England’s Lane. This is a vibrant and exciting area and is a haunt for many celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin of Coldplay, actress Kate Winslet, actor Sean Bean, Liam and Noel Gallagher from the 90’s band Oasis, all are residents in Belsize Park. Even the present MP is the well known actress Glenda Jackson.
