Welcome to London x London’s Primrose Hill Guide: your guide to the best bars, restaurants and things to do in this North London neighbourhood.
Primrose Hill sits in the London Borough of Camden, just north of Regent’s Park, with Camden Town bordering it to the east and Swiss Cottage to the west.
The plush streets of Primrose Hill are home to some of the most expensive residences in London.
Look past the price tags, though, and you’ll find independent pubs, cafes and restaurants, plus that famous view over the city skyline from the hill itself.
Primrose Hill began life as one of Henry VIII’s hunting grounds. The landscape has changed since, but its pull on some of the city’s wealthiest residents hasn’t. In other parts of London that kind of money often means bland, but Primrose Hill has never gone that way.
Locals have fought hard to keep their stretch of Regent’s Park Road filled with independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Colourful houses peer out from grand crescents, and at the top of it all sits the hill the area takes its name from. With Regent’s Park to the south and grittier Camden to the east, Primrose Hill’s well-defined limits make it an easy pocket of London to explore on foot.
