A Guide to Camden's Parks and Open Spaces A Guide to Camden’s Parks and Open Spaces Contents Kilburn, West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill 2 Gospel Oak, Hampstead, Highgate and Kentish Town 7 Camden Town, Somers Town, Bloomsbury, Holborn and Fitzrovia 12 Useful contacts and how to get involved 21 Alphabetical list of parks, addresses, features and travel details 27 Index 32 1 Introduction Camden Council manages nearly 70 parks and open spaces. They range from small neighbourhood playgrounds to grand city squares, historic graveyards to allotments. These oases dotted throughout the Borough, complement the bigger and somewhat better known areas that the Council does not manage, such as Hampstead Heath, Primrose Hill and Regents Park. In recent years Camden has spent a good deal of money improving its parks and open spaces. In addition, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, over £5 million has been spent on restoring five historic parks (Hampstead Cemetery, Russell Square, St George’s Gardens, St Pancras’ Gardens and Waterlow Park). We have increased the numbers of gardeners and attendants in parks – please let them know what you think of our service, you can identify them by their uniforms. In addition we have Parks Officers on duty every day of the year, backed up by a mobile security patrol. As well as managing public parks, the Parks and Open Spaces Service looks after the Borough’s trees, runs the allotment service and manages a number of large grounds maintenance contracts for other Council departments. We also lead on the Camden Biodiversity Action Plan. We would like you to think of this Guide as a welcoming invitation to Camden’s parks and open spaces. There is information about most of them with a complete alphabetical list at the back, as well as contact details for our services and other useful organisations.

    Conservation area statement Hampstead 2 Conservation & Urban Design Team London Borough of Camden Environment Department Town Hall Extension Argyle Street London WC1H 8ND Telephone: 020 7974 1944 Produced by Camden Design & Print END200/01 4279 Tel: 020 7974 1985 page 3 Location page 8 History page 12 Character page 46 Audit page 57 Current Issues page 59 Guidelines page 68 Road Index HAMPSTEAD Conservation Area Statement The aim of this Statement is to provide a clear indication of the Council’s approach to the preservation and enhancement of the Hampstead Conservation Area. The statement is for the use of local residents, community groups, businesses, property owners, architects and developers as an aid to the formulation and design of development proposals and change in the area. The statement will be used by the Council in the assessment of all development proposals. Camden has a duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to designate as conservation areas any “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance.” Designation provides the basis for policies designed to preserve or enhance the special interest of such an area. Designation also introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings. The Council’s policies and guidance for Conservation Areas are contained in the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This Statement is part of SPG and gives additional detailed guidance in support of UDP policies. The Statement describes the character of the area, provides an outline of the key issues and identifies development pressures which are currently a cause of concern.
