Nestled between Hampstead and Highgate, Kenwood is a pocket of tranquillity defined by its open landscapes, historic estates and exceptional architecture. The area takes its name from Kenwood House, an eighteenth-century stately home designed by Robert Adam, which remains one of London’s architectural treasures. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and ancient woodland, the estate forms part of Hampstead Heath and draws visitors year-round for its art collection and summer concerts.

Kenwood’s residential streets are lined with grand detached houses and elegant period properties, many enjoying panoramic views and extensive private gardens. Protected by conservation regulations, the area has retained its sense of exclusivity and natural beauty.
