Haverstock Road, Knowle

"One of my favourite memories is sitting in Perret’s park with my children on a summer afternoon, watching the hot-air balloons drift overhead from the balloon fiesta. It has been a lovely place to live, with wonderful parks, local to the infant and primary schools, and a real sense of community—there always seems to be something happening and everyone looks out for each other."
