HAMPSTEAD, London

Don't expect any bargains! Hampstead, the home of the rich and "I've made it class" has a price range to match its glossy image. Home of pop stars, media moguls and the generally super wealthy, Hampstead's price range achieved a heady orbit in the mid-Eighties and has shown little sign of re-entry since. Active community organisations fiercely defend and uphold the village and heath from unwanted developers, although McDonalds scored a notable victory a few years back. Property is very mixed yet demand always out strips supply. Modest Victorian terraces can be found to the south of the heath whilst large mansion blocks, many converted into apartments, over look the parkland.

The bulk of Hampstead Village is made up of largely Georgian and Victorian houses, sandwiched between Fitzjohn Avenue and East Heath Road which are the main roads running in and out of London. The principal local landowners the Church Commissioners, Maryan Wilson Estate and the Hampstead Wells and Campden Trust had largely sold their holdings by the beginning of the 1990's, and freeholds or long leaseholds are now the norm. Hampstead High Street still has "useful" shops such as greengrocers and fishmongers as well as the usual boutiques. The Everyman Cinema has at last been refurbished and still shows an eclectic selection of art-house movies as well as mainstream films.
