St John's Wood

St John's Wood is one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in London, with beautiful leafy streets and a choice of outstanding homes from period villas to modern apartments. Plus there are excellent schools and easy links to central London, the City and Canary Wharf.

The area gets its name from its medieval owners, the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. It was one of the first suburbs to be built in London in the 19th Century, boasting large, villas rather than the more typical terrace housing. Whilst many of those properties were destroyed in World War II, and subsequently replaced with new flats and schools, some remain. The area has maintained its original charm and atmosphere, leading to St John's Wood being one of London's most popular areas for families.

Within a few minutes’ walk, you can reach Regents Park and Primrose Hill.
