VAN GIRLS WAS STARTED, AND HAS MADE IT’S HOME IN NORTH LONDON. WE THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF REASONS TO MOVE HERE!
Many people when they conjure up images of London think of North London. It’s home to many of London’s most historic areas, as well as much of the London Underground Network. In addition, it’s an excellent place to live. There are a wide variety of places to move in North London.
Camden is one of North London’s most famous areas, home to trendy markets and a lively nightlife, and is a favourite of tourists and Van Girls alike. This is a particularly good neighbourhood for singles and those who are artistically inclined.
Primrose Hill is the ideal neighbourhood for those who want to get away from some of London’s hustle and bustle without leaving the city. It’s a quiet area that doesn’t feel as though it’s a part of a major city, and it’s home to many picturesque streets and village-like areas, not to mention the park where you might catch a glimpse of Van Girl Danielle doing hill sprints on a Sunday afternoon. That, or an incredible view of the fireworks in central London on New Year’s Eve make it well worth a visit.
Those who want to live alongside the river should consider moving to Hammersmith. It’s possible to walk and jog alongside the river every morning when you live here. In addition, Hammersmith is home to a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops. It’s also a hotspot for rowers. As a former rower herself, Van Girls founder Emma dragged the girls out on the river for a beginners regatta in the summer and we would highly recommend the river lifestyle.
Parts of Islington are more affordable than some of North London’s most popular areas, but it’s considered to be a very desirable place to live. It’s a smart family area with beautiful town houses and a bustling centre in Angel, full of coffee shops and boutiques and it’s very own theatre, the Almeida.
Hackney is another popular North London neighbourhood, parts of which can be more affordable. It offers a thriving street life as well as a number of music venues. It’s also a lynchpin for the London art scene. Many old Victorian warehouses have been transformed into galleries, and a number of up-and-coming London artists got their first breaks here. Hackney is also home to the football pitches at Shoreditch overground station where we played bubble football – very important training for removals professionals.
Football fans will feel at home in Chelsea, a neighbourhood that’s famed for its football club. This area of London is also home to the famous Vivien Westwood boutique, as well as a variety of independent shops and clubs. It’s also an excellent place for foodies to live, as the restaurants here are considered to be world-class. Van Girls make regular deliveries to the Saatchi Gallery on Kings Road and can often be seen rushing around the neighbourhood looking for an affordable snack. Apparently there’s loads of flowers there too!?
Kensington, which is located right alongside Chelsea, is one of the most costly areas in London. However, for those who can afford it, it can be an excellent place to live. It has a wide variety of shops, and boasts some of London’s best museums. If you want to feature as an extra in Made in Chelsea don’t limit yourself to Chelsea they often stray in to the streets of Kensington. We don’t need to stoop this low as we’ve been on Dragon’s Den and Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week – right little telly stars.
