Primrose Hill

The hill is one of London’s protected viewpoints: nothing may be built on the sightline to St Paul’s. At the summit a panel identifies the towers in front of you, and a quotation from William Blake is carved into the stone. Around the hill stand the pastel-coloured houses of Primrose Hill, for example on Chalcot Square. On warm evenings the summit gets busy; the slopes below offer more space.

Background

Primrose Hill is a Grade II listed public park first opened to the public in 1842, immediately north of Regent's Park, a Royal Park in London, England. It was named after the 64 metres (210 ft) hill in the centre of the park, one of the highest points in the London Borough of Camden. The hill's summit has a clear view of central London, as well as Hampstead and Belsize Park to the north, and is adorned by an engraved quotation from William Blake. The park's popularity led to the adjoining district and electoral ward being named Primrose Hill. Amenities of the park include an outdoor gym known as the Hill Trim Trail, a children's playground, and toilets, all located on the south side near Primrose Hill bridge which connects to London Zoo and Regent's Park. Primrose Hill park is managed by The Royal Parks.
