Rightmove Names Camden “London’s Happiest Place to Live”*. Here’s Why.

Published: 25.09.26

Few London neighbourhoods manage to feel as unmistakably local as Camden while still offering the connectivity and opportunities of Central London. Camden combines village character, cultural influence and outstanding access to Central London. It’s a setting few London neighbourhoods can rival.

Introducing Camden Goods Yard, an 8-acre development by Berkeley located between Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park, offering the perfect balance of city and green living.

Camden’s charm

Camden’s appeal starts with its personality. Vibrant, exciting and endlessly inspiring, it’s no surprise Camden has long attracted key players in music, art and drama for centuries.

With Camden Market just a 5-minute walk away, residents can enjoy a blend of food markets, unique boutiques and gift shops, live music, restaurants, cafés and nightlife. Step out your front door and into a world of culinary delights, where independent eateries, riverside bistros, and gourmet street food stalls serve flavours from across the globe. Camden truly is a food lover’s heaven.

Besides food and culture, Camden is within walking distance of 2 royal parks: Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill. Stroll through the parks to take in the greenery and panoramic views of London’s skyline, or visit the zoo in Regent’s Park. A future walkway through the development and straight to Regent’s Park will put the park just an 8-minute stroll away.

With 2 royal parks nearby, great places to eat and plenty of independent shops and businesses, Camden offers a nice mix of city life and a more relaxed neighbourhood feel.

London on your doorstep

For London homeowners and investors, location remains one of Camden’s biggest advantages. The development is a 6- and 10-minute walk from Chalk Farm and Camden Town stations, providing access to the Northern Line. From Chalk Farm station:

  • King’s Cross & Warren Street in 6 minutes
  • Angel & Tottenham Court Road in 10 minutes
  • Bank & Waterloo in 15 minutes
  • London Bridge in 18 minutes

Camden Town

Besides public transportation, Camden is also close to leading universities and major employment hubs, which are a short cycle away, ideal for students and young professionals. 4 of the world’s leading universities are within 12 minutes of the development:

  • University College London (UCL)
  • UAL Central Saint Martins
  • London School of Economics (LSE)
  • King’s College London

The borough is also home to the ‘Knowledge Quarter’, Europe’s leading innovation district. King’s Cross is close by, housing major businesses like Facebook, Google and OpenAI, positioning Camden Goods Yard as a great location for corporate tenants and fresh graduates.
