Kentish Town NW5 sits between the established premium villages of Hampstead and Highgate to the north and the regenerated creative hub of Camden and King's Cross to the south. The area has seen significant property investment over the past 15 years, with Victorian terraces extensively renovated by homeowners attracted by relatively more accessible price points than NW3 or N6.
NW5 Property Types and Decorating Requirements
The dominant housing type in Kentish Town is the two- and three-storey Victorian terrace — typically late Victorian (1880–1905), with red or London Stock brick facades, bay windows, and relatively modest proportions compared to the grander houses to the north. These properties suit a contemporary approach to interior decoration while respecting their period character.
Modern Apartments and Conversions
NW5 also has a significant stock of Victorian houses converted to flats, and purpose-built blocks from the 1960s–1990s. Decorating these requires attention to managing noise for neighbours (our team is considerate of communal areas and working hours) and often involves dealing with a wider variety of existing surface conditions than a single-owner house.
