Location

“Sloping gently down towards the Heath, Downshire Hill is regarded as one of Hampstead’s finest streets.“

– Remarkable Homes of NW3, by David S. Percy

Downshire hill is renowned for its charm and historical significance. As noted in Remarkable Homes of NW3, this "dignified development" began in the Regency period and has since drawn notable residents, including the painter John Constable. The street is lined with elegant stuccoed brick villas featuring cast-iron balconies, bay windows, and canopies, many of which are listed, preserving the architectural beauty of Hampstead's past.

Extending from Rosslyn Hill to East Heath Road, Downshire Hill meets the entrance to Hampstead Heath—an 800-acre natural haven with open parkland, scenic trails, woodlands, and peaceful open-water swimming ponds. Convenient transportation links are accessible from Hampstead Village, just 0.4 miles away, offering excellent connectivity to the City and West End via bus routes and the Northern Line. Additionally, Hampstead Heath Overground Station, only 0.17 miles away, provides direct access to Stratford and Richmond.
