Welcome to North London

London is a city full of hidden delights. That’s what makes it so special. The iconic image of the capital, especially for those who are new to the city, has a certain buzz surrounding it. Discovering that it not only lives up to the hype but also has all these extra depths you weren’t even aware of is one of the most thrilling experiences in travel. In fact, one of the things we think makes London such a magical city to live in is that feeling comes in waves, as you discover more and more of what it has to offer.

This is the case for every part of London. There’s not an inch of the city we don’t love. However, we’re going to pay extra attention to North London here. That’s because this area manages to be the closest to visitors’ expectations while also being the one that often manages to surprise the most.

However, you can’t talk about North London as one uniform entity. Of course, it is made up of many wonderful areas like Camden, Barnet, Enfield, Islington and more. Each of these places are individual locations with their own attributes which make them special and contribute to the incredible melting pot of the city as a whole. One of our favourite things about North London is how much variety in properties and locations you can find.

This is a city that knows that one size does not fit all. That’s why it offers so much diversity. As we said, it manages to surprise while delivering on all the promises of the capital. You can indulge in those classic London experiences, such as swimming in Hampstead Heath ponds, going for a stroll in Regents Park, seeing a gig at Ally Pally or checking out any of the amazing bars, clubs and pubs as part of its legendary nightlife.

On top of that though, there’s also the stunning nature reserves, the charming little eateries and the inspiring art house cinemas to help deliver something truly spectacular. And what is really magical is that these surprises don’t stop coming. North London is always moving forward, meaning that when you call it your home, you get to go along for the ride too.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.
