Primrose Hill area information
Primrose Hill is the name of the Grade II listed park and its famous grassy hill, just off Regent’s Park, which also lends it name to the surrounding residential area. The hill itself is 65 metres high and from the top you can see across Central London on a clear day. The view is a reminder of just how close you really are to the City; it can be easy to forget in the small village of Primrose Hill itself.
Many notable people have lived in this area, with no fewer than seven English Heritage blue plaques. In the 1990s, the area built a reputation as the place where all celebrities of the day chose to call home, earning themselves the moniker ‘The Primrose Hill Set’.
In the years since, Primrose Hill has remained an ultra-exclusive destination for celebrities, socialites and media personalities. There are less than 8,000 residents in the area, giving it a real community focus.

Primrose Hill
The famed hill itself, after which the residential area is named, is certainly worth a visit. It is separated from Regent’s Park by Prince Albert Road and the ZSL London Zoo, but it is part of the same Royal Park. The open space offers a tranquil retreat for weekend walks and picnics.

Home to over 755 species of animal, London Zoo has one of the largest collections in the UK. It is also the world’s oldest scientific zoo, opening in 1828 for study before its public opening in 1847. It’s based on the northern edge of The Regent’s Park, and is a good option for families with children.

Held every Saturday, this market is great for picking up locally produced produce and street food. It’s only small, but it is popular and helps to retain the village community vibe. It’s based at St Paul’s School.
