Primrose Hill (district)

[1][2] Primrose Hill is an archetypal example of a successful London urban village, due to the location and the quality of its socio-historical development,[3] and is home to many prominent residents.

Beginning in the late 1960s several of the roads were closed to motor traffic in response to an unacceptable level of collisions and consequent loss of life.

[a][5] Stanley Johnson and Lukas Heller each lived at different times at the Rocking Horse House on Regent's Park Road.

[7] Broadcasters Joan Bakewell and Nicholas Crane and actors Daisy Ridley[citation needed] and Derek Jacobi live in the area.

[8][9][10] Elliott Square is a grouping of modernist 1960s houses by Douglas Streeter, built as part of the Chalcot Estate on land owned by Eton College.
