I lived in a flat in Highgate on Milton Avenue -- garden flat No. 16 -- for two and a half years. I love London. And Highgate is the best place in London to live! (An American from Morgan Hill, California.)
Waterlow Park was once the garden to Lauderdale House, back in the days when Highgate was a rural village. It was set aside as park land in the 1800's and became a 'garden for the gardenless'. It is 29 acres I believe and it is right next to St Joseph's Catholic Church. Holloway Road, just south of Highgate, has always had a large Irish community and for generations the Irish would come up from Holloway in large numbers on a Sunday to go to the Church, then spend some recreational time in the park afterwards.
i was up the gate in October. love the place. shame the shop opposite the gate house has closed. Great little store that . begets made to order . also I noticed a development of the old watchmaker s by pond lane. Great place 27 years of visits love it
a.) I didnt know - somehow it didn't come up when I researched the area! b.) if I had known, I'm not sure I would have put a living celebrity's house address in a video, just for the sake of being respectful to a celebrity's privacy.
Hampstead is the older slightly senile member of the family, Highgate is the more trendy outgoing auntie, and East Finchley struggles on it's last million.
I miss this place. I stayed here a few nights. It was one of the beautiful memories I had in London.
I used to live in Highgate. Love this video, thanks for sharing.
North london is one of the most beautiful areas in London. Islington, Angel, Highgate, Hamstead
Couldn't agree more! I wish I lived there! :)
There’s nothing beautiful about Islington. Horrible grimy place.
For any Monty Python fans, The Angel pub at 01:51 was the local pub of Graham Chapman who lived in Highgate - the blue plaque is for him.
I'm happy to say I live here in Highgate. Beautiful sedate part of North London.
Just being curious what do you think of the borough of Brent
I lived there as a kid and loved it as much ten as I do now. A beautiful part of the world to live in

Rather than subtitles that don't give you a chance to read because they come and go to quickly you should try talking and dropping out the subtitles!!
0:30 Why no mention of this house now belonging to George Michael?

JivingGerbil LOL well you did! I'm surprised nothing came up when you researched the area. Oh well, you know now.
Love it.
