Tufnell Park - a village atmosphere in a bustling area
Straddling the borders of the London Boroughs of Islington and Camden, Tufnell Park is a popular area for young families, making up a friendly, homely community. Only 15 minutes from Hampstead Heath, it has many green spaces of its own, but has a vibrant scene thanks to its bars and restaurants. Due to its transport links to the West End, the area is also popular with politicians and actors, and many of London's finest attractions, plays and nightlife are never far away.
