Cricklewood

Cricklewood was originally part of the Borough of Hendon, but is now part of the London Borough of Brent, with a small portion in Camden. It is a lively North West London neighbourhood located between West Hampstead and Willesden Green. Cricklewood provides great transport links for families and young professionals alike, with quick overground trains to Kings Cross, Victorian terraces, and many great shops, pubs, and restaurants. The Mapesbury Conservation Area is popular with families looking for characterful houses with extra space, while the many new developments are ideal for those seeking modern living at a reasonable price.

This is a neighbourhood with many Victorian terraced houses that stretches all the way to Golders Green, West Hampstead, Childs Hill, and Willesden. It is a mixed-use neighbourhood with both commercial and residential properties. The properties on the wide leafy roads near Gladstone Park, such as Anson Road and Oman Avenue, offer 4/5 bedroom family accommodation. The railway terraces just off broadway are in a conservation area and are extremely popular with buyers seeking a tranquil green haven with a community spirit away from the busy centre.

The best way to get into London is via British Rail Thameslink from Cricklewood Station, which takes about 15 minutes to Kings Cross (St Pancras) station, with easy access to both Luton and Gatwick Airports. Anson Road Primary School, All Saints C of E Primary School NW2, and Claremont Primary School are all obvious draws for families. Cricklewood provides excellent value for money with large-family homes.
