Homes are being sold in the West Hampstead area which is the section of North Western London. West Hampstead sits between Childs Hill and Frognal/Hampstead lying North East and is also surrounded by a Swiss cottage lying east of it and Kilburn which is the South West area near South Hampstead.
Before the year 1879, West Hampstead was previously named West End Lane. The Metropolitan Railway in 1879 saw that it was fit to name West End Lane the current name of West Hampstead. Reason being that the station stop of West Hampstead was located closely to the main road of West End Lane.
The atmosphere of West End Lane becomes an interesting "village," during the day in which the locals enjoy due to the many bakeries, cafes, and small shops within the community and there are many who come to this popular area.
The convenience of smooth transportation is easy to come by because West Hampstead not only has its own station stop but also has two railway train stations named after it that of "West Hampstead" and "West Hampstead Thames Link Railway Station." The Metropolitan Railway station is also convenient since it is near Finchley Road. There are two other train stations to choose from such as "Silver Link" and "First Capital Connect". One can also choose flexible bus routes as well.
There is great demand for the sale of properties here as well as high demand for rental properties and potential buyers can view large family homes, Victorian houses or upscale flats. Buyers will be drawn towards the crisp beauty of the semi-detached brick houses lining West End Lane and Finchley Road. Unique are the new developments of apartment complexes in the area and these complexes are modern but with less character. The populace here is young professionals due to West Hampstead being very near the city.
Celebrities might be spotted along these streets. Matt Lucas, Jim Carter, Stephen Frye and Emma Thompson are among some of the celebrities taking residence here not to mention contestants from "The X Factor" television show.
