    Walked up here last night when it was absolutely freezing cold and windy but well worth it! The walk uphill is challenging in the cold and wind but when you get to the top and look back at the skyline of. London you will feel refreshed. The view of the city from here is nothing short of spectacular! The nightlights add to the beautiful vista! I highly recommend checking this out and one crucial tip would be do not look back until you reach the top of the hill.

    Going up.

    Highly recommend visiting Primrose Hill while in London, especially if the weather is nice. Not only is it a nice place to take a stroll in the park, the views are spectacular. Depending on where you're coming from, the hill can be a little bit of a climb (not super difficult), but it's so worth it when you reach the top. There's plenty of seating and it's a great place to people watch. When we went, not only were there dogs galore, but there were several bands playing music and lots of peeps doing impromptu photoshoots, all while the sun set in front of us. Someone told me the weekends are crazy with people, but if you're free mid-week and looking to get some nice outdoors time, you should spend some time here, especially if you want that city view!

    The trim trail
    Uli B.

    This area is really great for all those of you who want to work out in the open air. There's 16 different stations on this "trim trail" and believe me - once you're through with them, you literally fell like a different person...especially the next day, when all of your muscles start acting up! There's loads of fit people working out here - some accompanied by their personal trainers, some in small groups and some even by themselves. But everyone here seems to be on the same mission: to get fit. (Speaking of personal trainers, you may want to do some research for personal trainers who use this as part of their workout territory - Tim Hayes Personal Training comes to mind.) The biggest perk of this trim trail - however - is the beautiful view on beautiful bodies: I mean, who doesn't like to watch a Tom Cruise look-alike do pull-ups...especially when the shirt's off ;-) (The training area is situated behind the hedge next to the public toilets and across the road from the London Zoo bird avery.)

    Don't blow anything up, m'kay?

    While in town last week, a friend took us to Primrose Hill to partake in Guy Fawkes Night activities. It was a little chilly and rainy, but a surprising number of people turned out, and we all had a good view of the area fireworks. Despite the fact that fireworks are illegal in the park, a few people were also lighting off some of their own. I'm sure this park is lovely during the day time, and especially during warmer months.

    These houses in Primrose Hill are colorful and beautiful. Chalcot Square and Chalcot Crescent are where you'll find the famous rainbow houses (this will save you a few minutes walking around). It is a very quiet and residential area but a great spot for photos!

    The first time I saw Primrose Hill was when I was child watching the film 101 Dalmatians. I still remember the scene in my head but at the time I hadn't realized that drawing was based on a real location out in London. Fast forward some decades later and this time I'm in the exact same spot standing on the hill and gazing at London landmarks from a distance. It was lovely. It was pretty quiet on the day we went however I imagine it's busier during the warmer months with picnic-ers, joggers, dog walkers, bikers, what have you. Lovely park, lovely dogs/people, lovely neighborhood. I'm definitely returning.

    I love Primrose Hill! Lovely park with great views of London any time of the day or the year. Great place to have a picnic in summer when the weather is nice. It is worth a visit if you are around Regent's Park or Hampstead. It is a pretty area with lots of cafes and coloured buildings!

    Catherine H.

    If you are getting a bit tired of the busier nearby Regent's Park, why not venture to this more quiet park usually frequented by regulars and locals. This is a lovely park located in a very posh part of Camden, which also happens to have a literal hill. If you reach the top of the hill you will be treated by a very beautiful view of London which is always worth the short trek up there. This really is the ideal location to come down for a picnic and some frisbie fun on a sunny afternoon, before hitting the local alternative Camden pubs.

    Primrose Hill is a very pretty little park just North West of Regent's Park. As Catherine mentioned in her review, it is ideal when Regent's Park seems a little too much like a thoroughfare. Also, unlike many other London parks, there aren't really any activities, tennis courts, that sort of thing, which is suits the place's pleasant relaxed nature. The hill itself is hardly substantial with, though because London is so flat it is high enough that you can see out across the town beyond the City. These views combined with the general feel of the place make it ideal for picnics, or lolling about with friends.

    Spring morning dusk over London Skyline 3

    I love this place. It's got one of the best free views of London in the morning as the sun is rising behind the skyline. It's also one of the best places to view the NYE fireworks for free. It does get a little crowded so beware. In the summertime the park can get a little crowded with people enjoying the sun. It's very near London Zoo and Camden Town.

    Definitely one of my most favorite places to visit when visiting London. The views from here are spectacular. The local area is beautiful too, with lots of small restaurants and cafes around.

    Ahhhhhhh, my favourite park! Set against the backdrop of candy-coloured rich-folk houses, this park is one of the best. It has both flat playing fields at the top side and a gently sloping hill that offers one of the best views in London - across the city including the London eye, canary wharf and Houses of Parliament. The toilet block is in good nick, there's an encloses playground for little-uns and you're practically guaranteed a good celeb spot. AND, when you run out of booze, you totter along Primrose Hill high street and there's a Nicholas wine shop waiting to serve you a cold bottle of rosé or two. Many a great summers afternoon has been wasted here.

    Beautiful views of London. Reminds me (in that regard only) of Dolores park in San Francisco.

    A fab park too with a children's playground at the bottom of the hill and across from Regent's Park and London Zoo.

    If you have not visited the development just north of Kings Cross recently, I urge you to do so…read more It's really impressive, albeit mostly focused around housing and a lot of reasonably high-end retail. There are lots of places to eat (both restaurants and coffee) and there's quite a student vibe, thanks to the Central St Martins art and fashion college being located there. However, if you're looking for an antidote, just cross the canal and then you will find the Camley Street Natural Park. It's a delightful semi-wilderness, with lots of wild planting, trees and ponds, with paths and seating. The drawer for me is their café. They serve teas, coffees, a limited range of alcoholic drinks, fresh organic juices, and cakes and light snacks. These include a soup of the day, sandwiches, toasted sandwiches and paninis. Most of the options are vegan or vegetarian, although there are a few meaty options as well. They have only outdoor seating (albeit under cover), so it is a good option if it is warm (or you are well wrapped up). The quality is really good, but do be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially if they busy, as everything is prepared to order. To be fair, the friendly staff warned us of this, but we were happy to wait and watch the world go by. A bit of a find, and worth knowing about.

    You lucky lucky people…read more You're lucky I'm so nice and telling you about a hidden gem in the heart of London. A place to go when you thought you'd seen it all. Somewhere to escape and to learn. Somewhere where children can look a pond bugs and adults can (probably) kiss. We were on an anti tourist walk on a Saturday in and around Camden mostly because I'm a mild masochist who likes a challenge. We wound our way though lesser known parts of Regent's Park and down Regent's canal, only failing when we passed Camden Lock itself. To the east of this is this wonderful little two acre park right next to St Pancras international Station. Blink and you miss it, I would encourage most people to blink. This is two acres of land saved by the London Wildlife Trust and kept as a wildish nature reserve. From the canal it just looks like trees but get in and you will find a mini paradise of eco-conservationism. We were almost alone with the city feeling a million miles away in a pristine wild wetland, meadow and woodland area that has facilities for classes and education. It's wonderful little surprises like this that keep pulling me back to London so seriously...tell no-one, or you'll ruin my anti-tourist walk.
