Belsize Park is an area of north-west London, England, in the London Borough of Camden. It gives its name to a ward of the borough, called Belsize, which covers most of Belsize Park; the rest of Belsize Park is part of Hampstead Town.
It is located 3.4 miles (5.5km) north-west of Charing Cross and has a station on the Northern line. Some nearby localities are Hampstead to the north and west, Kentish Town and Gospel Oak to the east, Camden Town to the south east and Primrose Hill to the south. It is a lively area with many restaurants, pubs and cafés along Haverstock Hill and also England's Lane. Hampstead Heath is a 10- to 12-minute walk. Primrose Hill park is a 5-minute walk from England's Lane and provides some of the best views of Central London.
The ward has existed since the creation of the borough on 1 April 1965 and was first used in the 1964 elections. The ward was redrawn in May 1978 and May 2002.

Primrose Hill and Belsize Park Pubs
A tour of pubs in the Primrose Hill and Belsize Park areas of London, close to Camden, Regent's Park and Hampstead. It's a posh part of town, and many of the pubs have gone a bit gastro, but can I still find a decent historic boozer?
As always I take a look at the architecture, interior and history of each pub, and a quick glance at the beer lineup (particularly the real ales).
Along the way filming is interrupted by a pub cat, I ponder which of the 19th centuries many great engineers the Engineer is named for, I dig into whether the washington is really named after George Washington, we read some complaints from another Washington (Washington Irving) at the Haverstock Tavern about the noise the pub goers were making preventing him from concentrating on his writing; and finally we end on...

A tour of pubs in the Primrose Hill and Belsize Park areas of London, close to Camden, Regent's Park and Hampstead. It's a posh part of town, and many of the pubs have gone a bit gastro, but can I still find a decent historic boozer?
As always I take a look at the architecture, interior and history of each pub, and a quick glance at the beer lineup (particularly the real ales).
Along the way filming is interrupted by a pub cat, I ponder which of the 19th centuries many great engineers the Engineer is named for, I dig into whether the washington is really named after George Washington, we read some complaints from another Washington (Washington Irving) at the Haverstock Tavern about the noise the pub goers were making preventing him from concentrating on his writing; and finally we end on a high note at the Lord Southampton, a pub which happily has recently reopened after a long period of closure.
For any serious gluttons for punishments I also made a video of outtakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y210oBGK1sw

A tour of pubs in the Primrose Hill and Belsize Park areas of London, close to Camden, Regent's Park and Hampstead. It's a posh part of town, and many of the pubs have gone a bit gastro, but can I still find a decent historic boozer?
As always I take a look at the architecture, interior and history of each pub, and a quick glance at the beer lineup (particularly the real ales).
Along the way filming is interrupted by a pub cat, I ponder which of the 19th centuries many great engineers the Engineer is named for, I dig into whether the washington is really named after George Washington, we read some complaints from another Washington (Washington Irving) at the Haverstock Tavern about the noise the pub goers were making preventing him from concentrating on his writing; and finally we end on a high note at the Lord Southampton, a pub which happily has recently reopened after a long period of closure.
For any serious gluttons for punishments I also made a video of outtakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y210oBGK1sw

Musica por: Paulo Carvalho Eu quero uma mulher Aqui do meu lado Já chega de dormir Embriagado e sozinho Eu quero uma mulher e quero agora Ou me mandam uma Ou eu vou-me embora Eu já bebi demais E já cai demais Agora eu quero alguém Pra me segurar nos braços Me manda por favor Eu não posso ver Nem perna de mesa Que é tenda armada Com toda certeza Eu não quero revistas Nem filmes pornô Tudo o que eu quero é sentir o calor feminino Eu já sonhei demais E já esperei demais Agora eu quero alguém Pra matar a minha sede De sexo e de amor E já que eu estou a perigo Não vou escolher Basta ser mulher que vou receber Mas se puder eu prefiro morena Seios durinhos, pernas roliças e boca pequena Eu vou perder as chaves do quarto Eu vou quebrar as pernas da cama Do jeito que as coisas estão Eu vou transar uma semana Noite e dia sem parar
Saturday afternoon, to a sunny pub garden in north London’sBelsizePark. Ireland versus France is on – I am not yet aware of the trouncing that lies in wait ...Something stands out to an English friend of mine, who was regrettably supporting France ... NBC.
The Cordens previously owned a £6million mansion in BelsizePark, north west London on the same street as Coldplay's Chris Martin... was granted and the TV star sold his Belsize Park home in April 2021.
He stalked around the kitchen like a praying mantis in slow motion ... I still remember the horror of a Cub Scouts meeting in a freezing church hall in BelsizePark in the Seventies, the pressure of the afternoon’s orange squash beginning to build up.
The increase in washing machine ownership has meant demand for launderettes has fallen, although they are still considered an important resource for many and there have been fights to save them in BelsizePark and Fitzrovia in recent years.
