Haverstock

Haverstock is an area of the London Borough of Camden: specifically the east of Belsize Park, north of Chalk Farm and west of Kentish Town.

If divided into nine equal sections the north-east to south-east third has most of the high density council housing centred on sports facilities at the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Talacre Gardens which adjoins Kentish Town West railway station[2] In the west a notable estate of partial social blocks is the Maitland Park Estate, Maitland Park Villas.

The top of Queens Crescent is a diverse 20 mph street and part-time market lined with about 30 shops/salons including a modern library, post office, two pharmacies, the Sir Robert Peel and specialist grocery shops selling a broad mixture of convenience and exotic foods.

Sir Richard Steele, writer, playwright, politician and co-founder of The Spectator, went to live in Haverstock Hill in 1712.

As of 2019, the local councillors are Alison Kelly, Abdul Quadir and Gail McAnena Wood, all of the Labour Party.
