Area guide to Belsize Park.

Ilive in a large Victorian, groundfloor apartment of a white, stucco-fronted house in Belsize Park. I'm lucky enough to also have a private back garden. I love my neighbourhood as it is quite small and manageable, almost with a village-like feel. It's easy and quick to reach central London and there are great open spaces such as Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regent's Park all within walking distance. I've always lived in north London. In my 20s I was in Primrose Hill, in my 30s Hampstead and now Belsize Park. I guess I like to change homes from time to time but I love this part of London. I've lived here for 10 years. BEST EATING & DRINKING I often go to Lemonia in Primrose Hill for a casual Greek dinner. It's a local institution, I love the food and the staff are great. It's a short walk from my home. There's also a nice Italian restaurant in Belsize village called Calici. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
