Deciding on a place to live in London can feel like an impossible task.
Each borough has its own unique character and identity with distinctive attractions, landmarks and communities.
The city is packed with diverse neighbourhoods, each offering a different lifestyle and atmosphere.
And now, the best 10 areas to live in London have been revealed, with all four corners of the capital getting a mention.
But while you’ll have heard of popular spots like Wandsworth and Islington, one name on the isn’t quite as well known.
Dartmouth Park, in north London, is described as a ‘laid back’ neighbourhood and is popular with families and celebrities. It boasts tree-lined streets, a village-like charm and a great selection of dining options.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Where is Dartmouth Park?
Nestled on the hillside rising from Kentish Town to Highgate, Dartmouth Park offers ‘the best of both worlds’ – a leafy, relaxed village vibe combined with proximity and convenience to central London.

The western edge of the area nudges Parliament Hill Fields and Hampstead Heath – inner London’s biggest and wildest open space.
‘With its Victorian and Edwardian homes, leafy avenues and distinctly laid-back vibe, this neighbourhood feels like a village which is just a stone’s throw away from the city,’ Muddy Stilettos, who released the list, says.

Food and drink in Dartmouth Park
Despite its peaceful vibe, Dartmouth Park boasts plenty of ‘delicious’ dining spots.
A favourite among locals is the Dartmouth Arms, a popular boozer that’s somewhat of a sun trap in the summer, but hidden away so its not overcrowded.
It also has a fun pub quiz, with an enthusiastic quizmaster and great food – a special shout out goes to their cracking sausage rolls and extensive beer selection.

The neighbourhood pub offers ‘great food, drink music and Hi-Fi sound’, according to its website and has a ‘Vinyl-only’ DJ session every Friday.
‘If you like relaxed dining, good drinking and the crackle of vinyl, then you’ll enjoy what we do,’ its website claims.
The Lord Palmerston is another cosy spot, towards Tufnell Park, with a fireplace and leather armchairs.
The pub prides itself on being dog-friendly and hosts plenty of events including a classic pub quiz, and a weekly film club and ‘Sip and Sew’.
You do have to climb a bit of a hill to get there, but you’ll be rewarded with good views.
