London's creative powerhouses have been drawn to Primrose Hill for some time, with singers, actors, poets, authors, media professionals and models flocking to the early Victorian terraces and sweeping crescents. The rental market is especially strong among young tenants as it's a cheaper, faster way to enter this prestigious property market.

Property types in Primrose HillThe property stock in Primrose Hill is mostly Victorian, with an abundance

of white stucco-fronted houses and red-brick terraces - some of which

have been converted into apartments. Houses and flats to rent in

Primrose Hill are always in demand - no more so than in Chalcot Square,

where the pretty pastel façades provide the neighbourhood's most

recognisable street setting. Any residence designed by Prince Regent's

architect, John Nash, is also hot property among the rental crowds -

especially among international tenants looking for a statement address.

The Elsworthy Road conservation area, Regent's Park Road, Wadham

Gardens and Gloucester Avenue continue to be the most coveted

locations.

The neighbourhood is so charming that it has been the setting for many films, as well as providing locals and visitors with stunning views over London, thanks to its lofty position almost 63 metres above sea level. Primrose Hill property forms an interesting backdrop, with Victorian and Regency architecture lending a flourish to almost every street. There's also a thriving social scene, driven by gastro pubs, coffee shops, high-end boutiques and a la carte restaurants providing a refreshing and altogether more intimate alternative to the somewhat commercialised West End.
