Where the suburbs meet the city
Cricklewood in north-west London is nicely placed, featuring both urban and suburban areas - perfect for those who like to experience the hustle-bustle of the big city, but also appreciate a bit of peace and tranquility at the end of it all. With good transport links to central London as well as Luton Airport, it's a great jumping-off point for all manner of adventures.
Take in some nature at Mapesbury Dell
The Mapesbury Dell on Hoveden Road is a beautiful and well maintained public gardens and park, tended to by local residents, and open to visitors the year round. It's a bit on the small side, though, so if you really want to stretch your legs, head to Gladstone Park, a stunning green space including sporting facilities and a public garden, and boasting views of the London Eye and the Shard on a clear day.

Situated in Zone 3 on the Main Line, Cricklewood Station enjoys a service to St Pancras taking just 10 minutes. This means the world - well, London - is your oyster.
