About

Hampstead Town ward lies in the northwest of the Camden borough, centred on the historic Hampstead Village. The area is defined by its elevated position on Hampstead Heath's southern slopes, with the Heath itself forming a significant northern boundary. The ward contains the commercial heart of the village along Heath Street and Flask Walk, mixing independent shops with everyday services. Its residential streets are characterised by a mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture, from large detached homes to more modest terraced houses.

The ward's identity is deeply connected to the Heath, with many pathways leading directly from residential roads into its open spaces. The area includes the iconic Hampstead Theatre and the former Mount Vernon Hospital site, which has been redeveloped. Local life revolves around the village's cafes, pubs, and the weekly farmers' market, maintaining a distinct neighbourhood atmosphere separate from central London despite strong transport links via the Northern line.
