Hampstead History

Hampstead was mainly used as farmland and even

became the hub of the laundry industry; such was

the influx of washerwomen during the 18th century.

The area became more salubrious from 1707, when

the Chalybeate Spring was lauded as a cure-all

fountain, and the spa qualities rivalled those found

in Bath and Tunbridge Wells.

Accelerated development took place during the

1870s right up to 1914, and many architectural

styles can be found - from Georgian and Edwardian

properties through to Victorian villas and Arts &

Craft period homes.

Hampstead 's hilltop position grants majestic views of the metropolis below. Bearing the postcode NW3 andlocated in the borough of Camden, today's Hampstead attracts a mix of well heeled and artistic residents.

It was once reported that Hampstead Village had more millionaires within the neighbourhood than any other area

in the United Kingdom. Perhaps the best known area is The Bishop's Avenue - one of the world's most expensive

streets.
