Our Neighbourhood
The house is located within walking distance of historic Highgate Village, close to the green, open spaces of Hampstead Heath and the lovely English Heritage estate Kenwood House (free entry), Waterlow Park and world famous Highgate Cemetery (where Karl Marx is buried).Archway is on the Northern tube line, three stops north of lively, trendy Camden Town, five stops from St Pancras Station with the Eurostar rail link, eight stops from Tottenham Court Road (for the British Museum and Oxford Street) and nine stops from Leicester Square with the theatre district, Chinatown and the buzzing West End. As well as the tube there are good bus links on double-decker London buses.
