Guide to Living in St Johns Wood, (investment residential properties) London

No comments

By Jack Walters

  Estate agents in St Johns Wood have a constant flood of enquiries about properties on their books, as St Johns Wood is becoming an increasingly desirable area to live. Its close proximity to the West End and Regents Park, coupled with tranquil and secluded surroundings, make it a magnet for home buyers.

The houses offered by estate agents in St Johns Wood are very different from the usual London Victorian Terraces. St Johns Wood was one of the first London areas to propose larger, low density villa housing in place of crowded tenements. The result is quiet, tranquil streets with plenty of room to move and breathe.

St Johns Wood has several good schools, including the famous American School in London, and St Johns Wood tube station offers easy access to the City. The area has several good restaurants and bars, and a number of local shops.

St Johns Wood has some of the most expensive property in the UK. One of the areas covered by estate agents in St Johns Wood is Avenue Road, where properties regularly change hands for 40 million. However, the majority of properties are more modest, and include apartment complexes with their own communal leisure facilities, and un-modernised houses with great development potential.

St Johns Wood is the home of both the Lords Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios. It is close to several green spaces, including Regents Park and Primrose Hill. Parking is available from Westminster Council, and the road offers a direct link to the M4.
