<a id="explore-the-area"></a><h3>Your perfect first day in Hampstead: how to explore the area</h3>

<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x1f31e; Ready for a wander? Explore picturesque Highgate Village, nestled atop this hill in Hampstead Heath, to the west of Hampstead's high street. Enjoy stunning views of the Heath and London skyline while discovering charming gastropubs, theatres, boutiques, and cultural exhibits.  If it’s a particularly sunny day, take a refreshing dip in Highgate Ponds' open-air swimming holes, or experience the breathtaking bluebells carpeting Highgate Wood each May.


<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x1f3c3; Want to stretch your legs? Of course you have the sprawling woodlands and meadows of Hampstead Heath to amble - as well as tennis courts, open-air swimming and Parliament Hill running track open year-round. Hampstead also has a 9-hole golf course, multiple kitted out gyms and its very own cricket club.

<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x1f6d2; Hampstead High Street, just outside the station, has an incredible array of upscale shops, from luxury outfitters to home goods for your new place. You'll have the best fresh produce at your fingertips with a local butcher, bakery and greengrocer. If it's a Saturday, you'll want to head to West Hampstead for the Farmer's Market.

<a id="meet-your-neighbours"></a><h3>&#x1f44b; Meet your neighbours: who lives in Hampstead? </h3>
<p>Today's celebrities – a-list actors, media personalities, footballers and artists – flock to Hampstead. As do well-established practitioners of law and medicine. West Hampstead is especially popular with young professionals.

<a id="ask-our-experts"></a><h3>&#x1f50d; Is Hampstead a good place to live? </h3>
<p>Adam Thornton, Managers of Foxtons Hampstead office, thinks so. ““Hampstead offers a peaceful village feel amongst cobbled streets and period architecture only a stone’s throw from Central London. From its quaint independent cafes and restaurants to the high end fashion boutiques, the high street has everything to appease locals and weekends visitors alike. Nothing quite beats a long walk in the Heath followed by the reward of drink in one of our cosy pubs.”

<a id="property-market"></a><h3>&#x1f3e1; Find your home: the Hampstead property market</h3> 
<p>There are so many beautiful neighbourhoods around this area, from the colourful homes and cosy pubs of Hampstead Village to Belsize Park’s cobbled mewses and darling bakeries, and of course it’s worth a wonder by the eclectic mix of mansions on The Bishops Avenue, often referred to as ‘Billionaires Row.’
<P>If you're looking for a place to call home in Hampstead, we'll show you around the elegant Victorian conversions, stately Georgian terraces, period mansion blocks and gated mansions that provide a rich landscape of impressive architecture.

<a id="pictures"></a><h3>&#x1f4f8; Hampstead's most insta-worthy spot</h3>
<p>The best place to snap a photo? It’s got to be The Hill Garden and Pergola in Hampstead Heath – everywhere you turn is a good photo op. In fact, many happy couples take their wedding photos here. 
<p>The Pergola, overlooking West Heath, is carefully cultivated to look like some overgrown ancient palace, and the garden has a beautiful range of unique cultivars for plant lovers. It’s a bit of a hike and feels very tucked away, but that only adds to its allure. 


<a id="claim-to-fame"></a><h3>&#x1f451;  Hampstead's claim to fame</h3>

<p>Hampstead's greatest claim to fame is quite clearly the Heath. Hampstead Heath is the incredible wild park that inspired the Chronicles of Narnia. It's become the subject matter of many paintings including works by John Constable and Gillian Lawson. Famous poets like John Keats and authors like Zadie Smith wrote about the Heath.

<p><b>Famous faces</b></p>
<p>As for famous faces, an incredible amount of celebrities have found their haven in Hampstead - Ricky Gervais, Lewis Capaldi, Harry Styles, Helena Bonham Carter, Olivier Giroud, Sam Smith, Dame Judi Dench, Sting... From actors to artists to politicians to sportspeople, there are far too many who've graced these cobbled streets for us to list them all.

<a id="explore-the-area"></a><h3>Your perfect first day in Greenwich: how to explore the area</h3>

<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x1f31e; Ready to explore? Grab your phone (you'll want pics). Riverside paths along the Thames make the most amazing summer walks – with plenty of pubs along the way to reward your efforts with a cold pint in a sunny beer garden. 

<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x2614;  Keep an eye out for gigs – the O2's right on your doorstep for last-minute tickets to the big names. 


<p style="margin-left: 25px">&#x1f6d2; Royal Hill's gorgeous row of shops are worth a wander, and <a href='https://greenwichmarket.london/' target='_blank'>Greenwich Market</a>'s food court is a feast for the senses.

<a id="meet-your-neighbours"></a><h3>&#x1f44b; Meet your neighbours: who lives in Greenwich? </h3>

<p>Many move to Greenwich for two things. First, for its excellent connections into Central London, you're just a 10-minute train away from the suits of Canary Wharf and the buzz of London Bridge. However, Greenwich feels worlds away from city life. And second, village charm rules – independent shops, cobbled streets in the market and enough green spaces to make you realise living in London is not like other cities.

<p>It's a proper mix here. Uni students and parents of school-aged children love Greenwich for its academic merit, whilst city workers appreciate the easy commute. We find many families and first-time buyers focus their search on Greenwich with the intention to put down roots because there’s such a range of properties in a very handy location.

   <p><i>"Greenwich is not only steeped in history but also boasts an undeniable charm and beauty. The area is known for picturesque streets, lush green spaces, and stunning riverside views. Living in Greenwich means having Greenwich Park as your backyard, where you can enjoy peaceful walks, picnics, and beautiful views of London.

 <p>"The local community is vibrant and welcoming, with a variety of pretty cafes, markets, and unique shops that give the area a cozy, village-like feel. The Thames Path offers a scenic route for joggers and cyclists, and the proximity to the river adds a refreshing touch to daily life.

 <p>"Greenwich is also a fantastic place to work, with excellent transport links to central London, making commuting a breeze. The area's blend of historic charm and modern amenities creates a perfect balance for both professional and personal life. Whether you're admiring the stunning architecture of the Old Royal Naval College or enjoying a riverside meal, Greenwich truly offers a delightful living and working environment."</i>

<h2 class='intro_basic'>No matter how long you’ve been here, Central London still holds hidden gems and culinary treasures just waiting for you to explore. If you want London culture at its finest, we’ve got the restaurant recommendation for you.
<p>Our destination is nestled amongst London’s most iconic landmarks. It offers fine dining at its finest – masterful chefs transform the freshest ingredients into extraordinary dishes for you to enjoy with unreal views out over the city. For gourmet food in Central London, you’ll be surprised how reasonably priced the menu is, and truly, they earn every penny of it.

<figcaption>Our restaurant recommendation is just a quick stroll past Elizabeth Tower.</figcaption>
</figure>



<h3>Take the scenic route</h3>

<p>For the full London experience, we recommend you take the Tube to Westminster Station. Stroll past Big Ben and Parliament, Downing Street and Trafalgar Square, and finally around to the National Portrait Gallery.
<p>Plan for a couple hours wandering the gallery before your reservation, so you can take in the world's largest portrait collection, where painters and photographers spin tales of national heroes and cultural giants.
<p>See? You’re getting a taste of British culture already.





<h3>A culinary masterpiece awaits</h3>
<p>All finished at the gallery? Great, head upstairs.
<p>On the fourth floor, you’ll find <a href='https://theportraitrestaurant.com/' target='_blank'>The Portrait restaurant</a>, with the breathtaking London skyline unfurling before you. It is such a unique perspective, looking out across London landmarks from just above Trafalgar Square. Compared to peering down from a crowded observation deck, you really feel a part of it all here with your red wine and lamb chops guarded by the square's iconic lions.

<figure>

<figcaption>Drink in the view: what better end out across the city as you dine. </figcaption>
</figure>
<h3>The all-important menu</h3>
<p>You can always tell a good restaurant by the way the waiters introduce the menu. So, grab your seat, check out the view and prepare to be dazzled. Everyone we talked to spoke passionately about their favourite dishes. They understood the whole menu thoroughly, down to which farm reared this lamb and where that wild garlic was foraged.

</blockquote>

<p>The Portrait’s menu sways with the seasons, designed around whichever ingredients are at the pinnacle of freshness. One day it might be buttery English asparagus, the next, a burst of fresh blackberries. It takes real skill to perfect these recipes so quickly.
<p>We recommend you start with a crisp, light fizz as you look out over St Martin in the Fields, the London Eye, Nelson’s Column, Canada House and let the fresh flavours and iconic sites whisk you away.
<P>The menu when you visit will be different to the one we tried. But here’s a sample to whet your appetite:

<div>
<p>The Secret Smokehouse salmon was a triumph of London's curing craft. Its smoky depth was a masterful counterpoint to the vibrant burst of pomegranate and the satisfying crunch of the ciabatta. A dish that celebrated the city's artisanal spirit.</p></div>
</div>

<div>
<p>The deep-fried hens egg was the best example of a modern twist on a classic. A crisp, golden exterior gave way to a molten yolk – the ideal balance of textures. <br>The morels and English asparagus brought an earthy elegance, while the hollandaise was a beautiful light touch. The accompanying garlic, broccoli, and spinach sauce was a bold, unexpected and absolutely delicious companion.
<br>The most impressive part was to have a deep-fried egg and hollandaise at the start of a meal that lifted you up instead of weighing you down.</p></div>

<div>
<p>The spring lamb was a testament to the finest Welsh family-run farms. Cooked to perfection, it was tender and succulent. The couscous surprised us, doing much more than just adding colour and texture to the plate. This flavourful pilaf played a beautiful accompaniment to the lamb with its sweet and rich undertones.</p></div>

<p>The Dover sole was an elegant example of a classic dish. Its delicate flesh was cooked with real precision, its buttery sauce a rich and indulgent companion. The salty samphire added depth of flavour in this timeless dish.</p></div>

<h3>Corrigan's philosophy</h3>

</blockquote>

<p>Spearheaded by Michelin-recognised chef Richard Corrigan, The Portrait embraces his philosophy: <i>‘source the best, treat it with respect, and the flavour will follow.’</i>
<p>If you’re a foodie, you’ve probably heard of Richard Corrigan before, or watched him on Great British Menu, cooked from his recipe books or even dined at one of his eight unique restaurants across London and Ireland.
<p>Corrigan grew up on a farm in Ireland and learned his respect of quality ingredients from his father’s salad garden. He is an ardent supporter of small, family-run independent British and Irish suppliers. In the expert hands The Portrait’s chefs, this milk, butter, duck, fish, wild garlic and spring lamb become ambassadors of our home.

<p>The Portrait’s speciality is in championing British classics. We have all had more fish and chips and Scotch eggs than we can count, but when you pair that with the finest British produce and flawless cooking technique, you get to see our cuisine at its very best.

<h3>Finding London’s summer soul</h3>
<p>There couldn’t be a better time to visit, as this July marks The Portrait's first anniversary.
<p>For a short while, you can order <a href='https://theportraitrestaurant.com/whats-on/' target='_blank'>Six Lives cocktails</a>. They're perfect for mulling over your visit to the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition, <a href='https://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/exhibitions/2024/six-lives' target='_blank'>Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII's Queens</a>, or as a pre-theatre pitstop before watching <a href='https://sixthemusical.com/' target='_blank'>SIX the musical</a>.

<p>Londoners cherish the summertime. We are all out and about, shaking off the drizzly grey days and donning our brightest colours. So in this peculiar summer, lacking the usual hot sunshine, don’t you kind of crave that quintessential London Summer magic?
<p>The Portrait has it. They've captured London's likeness in a lovely experience. British dishes at their best, art from the gallery adorning the walls, and breathtaking views of a city we love.

<h2 class='intro_basic'>When the sun comes out, Londoners find a park. So, we asked our local experts about one of London’s oldest and most beloved, Victoria Park.

   <p><b>Ask an expert</b>
<small><p>From Emilia, in our Foxtons Hackney office: 
<p style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px;"><i>I have personally lived in Hackney my whole life and would ideally never leave. Victoria Park is perfect for a Saturday night with all the pubs and restaurants it offers but also for Sunday day time to wonder through the park with your friends or family. When the weather is warmer, a lot of people will have a picnic and play sports with their nearest and dearest. It is the perfect London location for being surrounded by green places but being so centrally and well located.</i>

</blockquote>
<p><b>Q: What’s the biggest perk of living close to Victoria Park?</b>
<br>A: Living by the park is like having your own giant backyard – all 86 hectares of it. You have peaceful walks, picnics, and community events on your doorstep.
<p><b>Q: When the weather gets hot like this, does everyone go to the park?</b>
<br>A: On a sunny day, the park is definitely buzzing! There are cafes, playgrounds for the kids, a bowling green, tennis courts, a skate park and plenty of space to sunbathe or kick a football around.
<p><i>Exploring Vicky Park in the sunshine: We recommend a walk along the canal, lunch at the Chinese Pagoda, and bringing the little ones to Victoria Park splash pool.</i>

</blockquote>

<p><b>Q: How important is Victoria Park to the local culture and community?</b>
<br>A: Popular is an understatement - Victoria Park is London’s most visited green space. 

<p>It’s also London’s oldest public park*, named for Queen Victoria and established to provide recreation space for the overcrowded working classes who lived in East End during Victorian times. So yes, this is an important part of East London culture. 
<p>More specifically, Victoria Park is the pride and joy of its community. 
 This is where everyone comes together for events, sports, or just relaxing. When you’re a local, and you can stroll through it on your lunch break or bring a picnic on the weekend, you really feel like you belong.
<p><i>Right now, we’re in <a href='https://victoriaparkfriends.london/bandstand-season/' target='_blank'>Summer Bandstand</a> season, which are free music events in the park.</i>

</figure>



<p><b>Q: As Victoria Park is a beloved local institution, does property near it carry a premium?</b>


<br>A: Proximity to Victoria Park definitely adds to a property's value. The lifestyle here is popular with people who work in Canary Wharf and the City of London. After a long day’s work in towering glass buildings, it’s comforting to come home to a beautiful period property and take the dog for a walk in one of London’s finest parks.

<p>"It is, in my opinion, the most desirable area in Hackney to live – especially anywhere with views directly onto the park or the canal." <br>~Emilia, Foxtons Hackney</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Also after all that work in financial and professional services, you’re going to want a quick commute. Here, you’ll have fast public transport from the office and easy access to major roads like A11 and A12. 
<p>Importantly for families, your children can go to excellent local schools. Our local expert Emilia said, about going to Gatehouse as a child, “it was the most amazing school – every week we had our sports lessons in the park.”
<p><b>Q: What types of property tend to be popular near Victoria Park?</b>
<br>A: You’ll find both houses and flats near the park, but families tend to gravitate towards period property with gardens, while young professionals often prefer the convenience of modern flats close to the local shops, markets and transport links.

<h3>Who rents in Wembley?</h3> 
<p>Using Foxtons own expert analysis of the Wembley market, we can tell you about the kind of tenant you can expect to let to here:</p>

<p style = "margin-left: 25px">• 33% of renters who live here rent for between £1,000 and £1,499 per month. 
<p style = "margin-left: 25px">• Primarily, Wembley’s renters are professionals (55%) and students (27%), and the population of renters in their 20's is expected to grow by 7.6%.
<p style = "margin-left: 25px">• 24% of renters have moved between 1-5 miles to their new address.</p>
<p>Renters are moving to Wembley from all over London, and beyond. While 2 out of 5 Foxtons renters move outside their initial search area to secure a home, 24% of Wembley renters move between 1 and 5 miles, 20% move up to 10 miles and 27% move more than 10 miles.</p>

<p>Transportation is a key benefit you’ll want to consider in the marketing of your property – Wembley Park, Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium provide access to the Underground, Overground and National Rail services. <b>This allows your renter to reach those big city jobs.</b> <p>For example, living close to Wembley Park gives them a direct service to <b>Baker Street (less than 15 minutes), Green Park (about 20 minutes) and Liverpool Street (30 minutes)</b>.</p>

<h2 class='intro_basic'>The latest Budget, announced by Jeremy Hunt on 6 March, had a bit of a surprise for Canary Wharf…and what better reason to see some jaw-dropping, glamorous homes on the market?</h2>

<div style="background: #E5E4E2; 
            padding: 10px; 
            border: 1px solid #E5E4E2;

   <p>Sick of everyone whinging about the Budget? We hear you. You can <a href="#featured-property"> skip straight to</a> these incredible homes on the market.</p>
</small>
</div>


<p>Jeremy Hunt said the government would, “allocate £242m of investments in Barking Riverside and Canary Wharf, which together will build nearly 8,000 houses as well as transforming Canary Wharf into a new hub for life science companies” in the Spring Budget 2024.</p> 
<p>This Levelling Up plan has sparked fierce debate on whether Canary Wharf needs government assistance – this particular property market is already robust and exciting, with big plans on the horizon. However, all this chat does bring up an important point for homebuyers and investors: <i>have you seen how truly incredible Canary Wharf homes on the market are?</i></p>

</blockquote><p>Canary Wharf, known far and wide as London’s banking and finance hub, has been in a period of total transformation.</p> 



<p>We’ve discussed the revitalisation of the Cinderella Wharf in <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2022/10/spotlight-on-canary-wharf-a-hidden-gem-thatas-starting-to-shine' target='_blank'>Spotlight on Canary Wharf: a hidden gem that's starting to shine</a> – where the entire area once filtered out by 5pm on Fridays, now there is an active and engaging social scene for residents in remarkable riverside homes.</p>
<h3>Why life sciences?</h3> 
<p>However, it’s not just residents’ lifestyles that have seen a change. There has been significant interest in Canary Wharf by life science companies, such as the North Quay scheme – the “largest commercial life sciences building in Europe” (<a href='https://www.standard.co.uk/business/canary-wharf-group-kadans-new-london-life-sciences-building-b1095322.html' target='_blank'>Evening Standard</a>) and Level39, which is primarily a tech hub, also now has a raft of new Life Sciences businesses. Canary Wharf attracts big names in life sciences such as, “Genomics England, Barts Health NHS Trust…Medical Defence Union, General Pharmaceutical Council and NHS Transformation.” (<a href='https://group.canarywharf.com/press-release/planning-consent-secured-for-europes-largest-life-sciences-building-190723/' target='_blank'>Canary Wharf Group</a>).</p>
<p>As this business hub forms, so will the property landscape change to supply the workforce. Professionals will be looking for excellent homes in and around Canary Wharf to make the most of the opportunities. Get ahead of the crowd with homes on the market now.</p>

<h2 class='intro_basic'>Bow’s cobbled Victorian streets have got a sharp new wardrobe, and this district is looking <i>good</i>. Bow offers a savvy buying and investing opportunities hovering just, <i>just</i> below the radar… but they won’t stay there long.</h2>

<p>London’s “gritty East End” is, frankly, a tired trope. In reality, East London is a diverse region brimming with unique destinations. Its best neighbourhoods are powered by creativity and innovation – two live wires setting vibrant communities in motion, and Bow is a shining example of this new and boundless energy.</p>

<h3>The Face of Bow</h3>
<p>Investing in an area of London that’s on a journey of reinvention isn't just about bulking up your property portfolio.  So, let’s take a break from investment clichés and consider Bow, a genuinely cool place to call home.</p>

<p>The best way to uncover an area’s true potential is to look at its ‘quantum factors’, which determine the character, attractiveness and practicality of a London locality. So if you want to see what really makes Bow tick, here are the details:</p>


<p><a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/properties-for-sale/bow' target='_blank'><img src='https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2024/03/quantum-factors/720.png' alt=''></a></p>

<h3>Regeneration</h3>
<p>Look at Bow today, and you’re going to see a change. There’s more to see here than *ahem* gritty smokestacks, worn warehouses and shadowy alleyways. Now you’ll see new ideas amid the Victorian architecture, peaceful pocket parks and independent shops bursting with flair.</p> 
<p>Bow has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, and as it’s nestled between three ongoing regenerations – Hackney Wick, Pudding Mill Lane and Stratford – it has excellent potential for further capital growth.</p>

<h3>Water and Green open spaces</h3>
<p>Bow is surrounded by waterfront views on all sides – Hertford Union Canal in the north, the Limehouse Cut Canal in the south, River Lea in the east and Regent’s Canal in the west.</p> 

<p>East London does not get near enough credit for its green spaces. Bow has plenty of chlorophyl to keep nature lovers Victoria Park, one of London's largest and most popular parks, as well as Mile End Park, which follows along Regent’s Canal.</p>

<h2 class='intro_basic'>If you’ve been out around Greater London, you might have caught a flash of colour out of the corner of your eye…green and blue, yellow and red… There’s something circling London, and it just connected in 2024. It’s called the <i>Superloop</i>.</h2>



<figure>

</figure>


<p>Earlier this month, the Superloop opened its SL5 route from Bromley North to Croydon. There will be ten routes in total on the Superloop, and all together, they’ll create a big circle all around Greater London...and a few squiggles through it.</p>


<h3>All roads lead to Charing Cross</h3>
<p>Most of the time, if you’re journeying from one part of Greater London to another, you’ll take a detour towards the City. It’s just how big city transport works, funnelling people nearer the centre to usher us into our business and entertainment hubs, then back out home in the suburbs. But Greater London has so much more to offer. One-of-a-kind communities with so much to see and do, and excellent career opportunities without the commuter scrum.</p>

<figure>
<a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk' target='_blank'><img src='https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2024/02/superloop-map/720.jpg' alt='Map of the Superloop by TFL for planning your commute'></a>
<figcaption>Source: <u><a href='https://content.tfl.gov.uk/superloop-map.pdf' target='_blank'>TFL</a></u></figcaption>
</figure>


<p>TFL launched the first four routes back in July 2023. They’ve proved popular, as TFL data showed “data so far shows demand on all Superloop routes has increased above the network average level.” (<a href='https://tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/tfl-launches-further-two-brand-new-superloop-routes-as-new-data-shows-huge-success-of-initial-routes' target='_blank'>TFL</a>).</p>

<p>So, towards the end of 2023, TFL launched two more. 3 February saw the launch of Bromley to Croydon. <b>(March update)</b> The loop around London is now complete with additional routes connecting Walthamstow to North Woolwich (2 March) and Thamesmead to Bromley (24 February).</p>

<p>There are two lines cutting into the circle – Uxbridge to White City and Croydon up to Russell Square. When the Silvertown Tunnel is completed, channelling bus and lorry traffic between Greenwich to Silvertown, we’ll get another line.</p>

<h3>Why it matters</h3>

<blockquote class='pullquote_right'>
<a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk' target='_blank'><img src='https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2024/02/on-bus/480.jpg' alt='Travel by bus in London'></a>
<p>"Making it so much easier for professionals to commute cheaply <b>without a car</b>."</p>
</blockquote>


<p>The Superloop brings some of the less connected areas of Greater London into the fold, making it so much easier for professionals to commute cheaply without a car. It's a big deal for those whose property search is affected by the expanding ULEZ zone. It also helps house hunters realise Greater London's massive potential a little bit better. With this service, you can get from Croydon to Heathrow, from Harrow to North Finchley, from White City to Uxbridge, for just £1.75.</p>
  
<p>The other super benefit is that Superloop doesn’t hang about. This is an express service with limited stops. They’ve also upped the frequency of these services; like the X26 which originally ran twice an hour and now as SL7, it runs every 15 minutes.</p>

<h3>What this means for property</h3>
<p>The Superloop is working to put somewhat overlooked areas on the map for London’s commuters. As we discussed in our London Report – Autumn Statement, once we introduce buyers and renters to a new area, they are more than willing to explore if there’s the transportation infrastructure to make it worth their while. This means two things:</p>
<p style= "margin-left: 25px">1. If you want to explore a new area with a good route to work, we want to introduce you to the <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2021/05/the-growing-popularity-of-walthamstow' target='_blank'>wild heart of Walthamstow</a> and the <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2021/03/teddington-tops-list-of-londonas-best-places-to-live' target='_blank'>dreamy Teddington high street</a>. <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/myfoxtons/applicants' target='_blank'>Make an account on My Foxtons</a> and we’ll show you property to buy and rent around the Superloop.</p> 
<p style= "margin-left: 25px">2. If you want to expand your portfolio in an area on the rise, the Superloop is just one more good reason to take a second look at areas like Hendon, Woolwich and Walthamstow. Foxtons can help, <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/myfoxtons/applicants' target='_blank'>register your search</a> for a new buy-to-let asset, or <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/investments' target='_blank'>find your next investment</a>.</p>

<h2 class='intro_basic'>The buy-to-let property market in London is ever-changing, with new opportunities emerge all over the city for landlords with big goals. </h2>

<p>We’re coming up on the month of new momentum, where landlords look over their portfolios and make use of the many exciting new opportunities to invest in London that come right at the beginning of the year. So you’re prepared to hit the new year running, here are some areas of interest right now:</p>
<h3>Where to invest in London</h3>

<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2023/12/bp-edited/720.png" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a>
<div>
<h3><small>Bollo Lane, Acton</small></h3>
<p>Following up one good thing with another, there are big regeneration plans in play on Bollo Lane, just behind the beautiful home of some of the world’s leading companies, <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2023/08/friday-fun-fact-a-gilded-dream-for-the-golden-mile' target='_blank'>Chiswick Business Park</a>.</p>

<p>Bollo Lane is both well-connected to the Piccadilly Line and a short walk to the wonderful amenities of Chiswick High Road. It makes perfect sense to transform an area that’s already got the incoming workforce and excellent transport links, and there are some big names in residential development behind the push.</p>
 
<p>Countryside is taking charge of regenerating South Acton estate, with a number of phases yet to be built leading into 2027, so there’s a lot of off-plan opportunity. Bookbinder Point’s 14 storey building on Roslin Road and the forthcoming 700 new homes on the former TFL site will be spearheaded by a major London developer.</p>

<div>
<h3><small>Pimlico</small></h3>
<p><p>Pimlico is a bit more under the radar compared to its more famous neighbours, which provides an opportunity you can leverage. The SW1 postcode is always good value for money, great connectivity and transport, good yields and an audience of experienced renters, who are looking for the benefits of life in central London and can appreciate a good let.</p>

<div>
<h3><small>Chelsea</small></h3>
<p>If you're planning to provide a luxury let, look in Chelsea. 
<p>“Chelsea’s buy to let landscape has refocussed since 2016, due to changes in property taxation and shifting demand from an international audience to a national audience,” Thomas Brooks, head of Foxtons Private Office says, “One can get a workable yield now, if they have the right deposit.”</p>
<p>Thomas also mentions the redevelopment of the Kings Road, Sloane Street and Sloane Square, “which will only add to the area’s lustre.” Sloane Square is on a journey of redevelopment to enhance its reputation as one of London’s brightest destinations for luxury retail, the home for high end.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>King's Cross is the government’s shining example of a regeneration done well.</p> 

<p>There has been major redevelopment of property and infrastructure around King's Cross. An influx of global tech headquarters including META and Google (HQ to be completed in 2024), had its part to play, as did the creation of Coal Drops Yard, the magnificent new shopping, entertainment and dining scene.</p>
<p>According to <a href='https://www.centreforcities.org/reader/making-places/learning-from-kings-cross-regeneration/' target='_blank'>research into ONS statistics</a> around employment, King's Cross has a unique array of job opportunities to the rest of wider central London, with a “higher share of jobs in the arts, public administration, education, and information and communications.” This incoming audience will likely be looking for new properties to rent alongside their new Kings Cross careers, so it’s an interesting opportunity for buy to let portfolios.</p>

<div>
<h3><small>Wembley</small></h3>
<p>The regeneration of Wembley is touted as one of the largest regeneration projects in the country, and it’s at the stage now where hard work is paying off. The area is blossoming, attracting growing demand from London’s renters.</p> 
<p>Wembley Park is now known for more than the arena; new businesses abound, providing a plethora of job opportunities and fun things to see and do locally. Sleek modern developments have successfully replaced tired old tower blocks with homes renters are excited to live in. The excellent transportation has a chance to show off, bringing more commuters flocking.</p>

<div>
<h3><small>Hackney</small></h3>
<p>Through it all, Hackney keeps its appeal as an urban trendsetter, home to a loyal and remarkably creative community. Despite that, today’s Hackney is very different from what it was 10 or 15 years ago.</p> 
<p>There is more green space, excellent schools  and the grittiness that once gave Hackney an edge has been softened.</p> 
<p>Tech City is the name for the growing number of tech companies congregating around Old Street Roundabout, bringing renters with highly specialised jobs into the area.</p>

<h3><small>Elephant & Castle</small></h3>
<p>More than £4bn is being invested through 26 correlating projects in Elephant & Castle, with a new town centre, new homes, new public amenities and improved transport set to transform the space. There will be a new major park, three public squares, a series of pocket parks and green spaces alongside walking routes through the neighbourhood.</p> 
<p>The new town centre will include a campus for UAL’s London College of Communication, adding to the Elephant’s already <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2023/07/5-underrated-areas-for-student-lets-in-london' target='_blank'>excellent appeal to student renters</a> and to landlords providing student lets.</p>
