Hamilton Terrace is one of London’s most attractive residential streets, known for its wide tree-lined layout and classic architecture. It’s within walking distance of St John’s Wood High Street, with local shops, restaurants, and cafés, as well as green spaces like Regent’s Park and the canal paths of Little Venice. St John’s Wood and Maida Vale underground stations offer quick connections across central London.

The area is also highly regarded for its educational offerings. The American School in London (ASL), located just a short walk away, is one of the most prestigious international schools in the UK, catering to students from kindergarten through grade 12. It’s especially popular with expatriate families and offers a U.S. curriculum with a strong emphasis on academics, arts, and athletics.
