Hartland Road offers so much to delight you. Firstly, there’s the tranquil air of a residential street shaded by rowan, Swedish whitebeam and eucalyptus trees. Next there are the houses themselves: handsome, predominantly early Victorian, double-fronted and boasting three storeys. Some are built in glowing golden London brick; others are stucco fronted, with the stucco painted in a palette of pastel colours, lending the street a distinct jaunty flavour.
Next there’s the variety of accommodation available. If you’re looking for a flat or maisonette, look no further. Some of the Victorian houses have been converted into flats and there’s also a terrace of two-storey modern maisonettes to tempt you.
The street is abundant with amenities. There’s a primary school on the doorstep, opposite the church of the Most Holy Trinity with St Barnabas, constructed in 1849 in the early Gothic style. Nearby is a small park, Hawley Road Open Space, perfect for picnics. There’s even workshop space just a stone’s throw away, under the railway bridge, if you fancy working close to home.
And despite the serenity of the street, you’re just a step away from the bright bustling atmosphere of Camden Lock with its profusion of shops, restaurants and pavement cafés.
