| Location:
Situated in Highgate Village, a fashionable residential area near to Hampstead, this late Victorian building set in its own grounds offers visitors an ideal location for peace and tranquillity, whilst being within easy travelling distance of the West End and the many tourist sights London has to offer. Closer attractions are the well-known gothic Highgate Cemetery is now the final resting place for many eminent writers, politicians and artists. The beautiful neo-classical 18th century Kenwood House overlooking an equally beautiful part of Hampstead Heath. And just short tube rides from Archway or Highgate are the alternative Camden Markets. Once a hubbub of cutting edge youth culture, it draws a more mixed crowd these days, attracted by its reputation for ethnic arts, crafts, jewellery, second-hand clothing and a variety of food stalls.
