The ward of Haverstock sits in the north of the London Borough of Camden, centred on the slopes of Haverstock Hill between Camden Town and Belsize Park. It’s a compact urban mix of Victorian terraces, interwar and post‑war council housing and pockets of more recent development, with good transport links into central London.
Culturally the area adjoins the creative buzz around Camden Market and venues like the Roundhouse, while quieter streets lead up to green spaces such as Primrose Hill and Regent's Park. Socially it’s diverse - long‑standing communities sit alongside students, young professionals and families, and local institutions such as Haverstock School help to sustain a distinct neighbourhood identity amid pressures from gentrification.
