Safe neighborhood What made you choose this property over the others that were available? Well maintained building with attractive garden and communal area. Building only has 5 flats. Great location, close to central London. family friendly neighborhood, but with restaurants and pubs as well. Layout of the flat was much better than even bigger flats (with a lot of dead space or lots of stairs). Two bathrooms were a great plus, other three beds had 1 bathroom. Reception next to the kitchen. We liked that it is the top floor and we could use the communal area outside the flat for storage like shoes, umbrellas, etc. Strollers can be left downstairs.

Yes, there are a number of celebrities that live in St. Johns Wood What is your favourite room and why? We love the living room because it is very quiet and it looks at the gardens of our building and all of the gardens from houses on Hamilton terrace. When looking out at all trees, it does not feel like you are in a very central London location. Even when the leaves of the trees fall, you get a nice view. Memorable/remarkable event?
