About

North Heaton is a residential neighbourhood situated to the north of the city centre.

Its streets are arranged in a largely grid-like pattern, sloping gently upwards from the Chillingham Road corridor.

The area is also known for its strong community focus, with several longstanding social clubs and an annual festival centred on this main road.
