LIVING IN HIGHGATE
NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDES
Highgate feels like stepping back, in the best way. Cobblestone lanes, period architecture, and one of London’s most atmospheric cemeteries give it a sense of history and quiet grandeur. But it’s not all antique shops and ivy-covered pubs (though there are plenty of those). Highgate also has a brainy, creative edge too — a legacy of poets, thinkers, and artists who’ve called it home.
“London’s storybook escape – where every steep hill rewards you with a view (and a perfectly poured flat white)”
With the heath on your doorstep and the city skyline in view, Highgate is a rare mix of countryside calm and cultural clout.
Highgate station on the Northern Line is your gateway to the city and it’s just a short stroll from the heart of the village. Whether you’re commuting, theatre-hopping, or escaping for the weekend, it’s all within easy reach. Add in regular bus routes and you’ve got convenience wrapped in leafy surroundings.
Highgate boasts a range of educational establishments. Highgate Primary School serves the primary sector, focusing on early years education.
