The Locality:
It is a very clean and tidy apartment and it is in the London suburb called Finchley which is a very safe and nice area. It is located in a quiet residential road away from passing traffic or train noise.
Very Close – max 10 minutes walk: At the top of my road, there are a few shops including a confectioner shop and a small supermarket where you can buy essentials. Then, about 10 minutes walk (or there are bus services from the top of the road), there is Finchley Central or North Finchley, which has the big supermarkets called Tesco’s, Waitrose and Sainsbury's and all the banks. North Finchley has more extensive shopping facilities including a very wide range of general shops, cafes and restaurants and should be able to cater for all of your needs.
Hampstead is one of the most exclusive suburb and park areas of London and I find it very pleasurable just walking through the roads to see the beautiful houses, many of which are absolutely fabulous (see below).
Shopping Centre Complex and Local Areas:
Closest Shopping Centre: 15-20 minutes by a bus 1 minute from the apartment is Brent Cross shopping centre in Hendon which has all of the main shops including John Lewis, Marks and Spencer and all of the mainstream fashion shops and well known high street chains and has extensive options of places to eat. This is an enclosed shopping centre (and so you don't have to worry about the weather) and there is a bus (the 326) which runs from the top of my road (1-2 minute walk) and takes you directly to the shopping centre where it terminates, so you cannot get lost.
HIGH SPEED BROADBAND INTERNET AND CABLE TV
The apartments come equipped with cable TV and broadband wireless internet with a fast 10 MB internet connection, for connecting to your own computer.
Hamstead & Belsize Park:
Hamstead is one of the prettiest areas of North London. It is within reasonable Distance: It has a vast choice on offer. It is an extremely pretty suburb of London. On one side it has countless restaurants, cafés, bars, cinemas, pancakes, shops and theatre and on the other side it has Hampstead Heath with breathtaking views of London, a teahouse in an old English mansion and beautiful walks through very pretty parkland.
Just a stop away from Hampstead is Belsize Park (but is also a pleasant walk from Hampstead) which is a very pleasant up market area with many restaurants and a lovely cinema.
Then another stop away on the underground is the well known district of Camden. This is home to the very famous Camden Lock Market, which has a vast array of stalls, food and shops on offer and is very easy to reach. There are stalls with every kind of interest you can think of. The fashions and styles are very fascinating.
