The lowdown on Mansion Blocks
These striking, red brick apartment blocks have a sense of granduer about them, making them an appealing place to live. Often found in well connected areas, such as Maida Vale and West Hampstead, which offer a welcome, but nearby retreat from the hustle and bustle of central London.
Primelocation.com takes a look at the pros and cons of mansion block living, a little bit of history and some advise on buying one for yourself. Read the article on Mansion blocks here.
West Hampstead sports day and car wash
Greene & Co, West Hampstead pulled in a few more pounds for our fundraising event, edging us even closer to hitting our £10,000 target.
On August 22nd the West Hampstead office and helpers, hose and sponge in hand, headed for St Mary’s school in Kilburn to scrub a few cars and recapture their youth with some fun sports day activities.
Everyone had a great day, especially the kids battling out for first place in the egg and spoon race, sack race or hula hoop competitions. Lot’s of people bought down their dirty cars and revelled in the local Estate Agents getting their hands dirty. Over £600 was raised on the day for the charity fundraising pot.

A fun place to have dinner
I’ve been a bit quiet on my eating habits of late, so I thought I’d share a hidden little gem with you that I discovered in West Hampstead not long ago…The Little Bay on Belsize Road. This place is amazing; if you get there before 7pm they do a 2 course meal for £7…but don’t wory too much about rushing because even without that lovely little discount its still incredibly great value for money. All starters are £2.95 each - ranging from moules marienierre to garlic mushrooms. Then the mains all come in at £6.85 each. Considering the price, the food is lovely and the service is great.
Now here comes the good bit. What I really love about this place is the decor. There are tables tucked in little nooks 
or up a ladder and onto a balcony. It makes the whole dining experience just that little bit more fun.
I went there for dinner with my friends a few weeks ago, being very much in touch with my inner child, I couldn’t contain my excitement when we scored a balcony table. It was great! So, along with good food, good service and unusual seating arrangements - that makes for a winning combination in my book.
New development in Queens Park, NW6 - fab apartments, great location, reasonable price
Yes, another swanky development under our belts, this time in sought after Queens Park. I was in Queens Park this weekend actually, topping up my tan in the local park. Not only does Queens Park have a quiet suburban feel to it, with lots of families and leafy roads, it’s not that far from West Hampstead, Maida Vale and Notting Hill. This part of town is ridiculously well connected to the rest of London, so if you need to travel a bit further for work or just to do a bit of cheeky clothes shopping, you can pretty much get all over the place.
All that aside, I actually found a fish and chip shop in Queens Park this weekend. Now, I know it’s a bit naughty but there is a serious lack of proper fish and chips shops in London!
Ahem, back to the apartments….they’re simply stunning with integrated kitchens, en-suite bathrooms and balconies.
Have a closer look at one of the apartments here. (The prices and number of bedrooms range from a studio @ 250,000 upwards)
A lovely place to have dinner in West Hampstead
I discovered a lovely little restaurant the other day, just off the beaten track in West Hampstead. It’s not too far away to walk to, but it’s just tucked away off West End Lane. About a 5-10 minute walk from the Greene and Co office.
I went there one evening with my boyfriend, after being recommended…there happened to be an England football game on that night, so he seemed somewhat reluctant and preoccupied. (I promise I didn’t engineer it to get out of watching said football match). Anyway, thank heavens for forward thinking restaurants! Up on the wall, there it was – the football match. The volume was turned off, so luckily I didn’t have to listen to it and he could gaze adoringly into the TV, rather than my eyes.
I digress…we had a thoroughly lovely evening, despite England losing. The food was absolutely gorgeous. I had lamb dish with green beans and bubble and squeak – yum yum yum! My boyfriend chose a pizza from the wide selection they have to offer…which I had a sneaky nibble of and it was delicious. We washed our scrummy food down with an even scrummier bottle of wine. We chose the house red and it was probably one of the best house wines I’ve had in a long time. On top of all that the service was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere relaxing and homely. Top marks all round – I’m a very happy lady.
I’ve recently just moved to West Hampstead, so have been checking out the local area and so far, this is my favourite place to eat. I’ll definitely be going back there
