Edgware area guide

The area adjacent to the last stop on the Northern Line Tube network is providing excellent options for families and professionals looking to buy apartments in London. As a neighbourhood, Edgware overlaps with Colindale and is currently benefitting from a building boom. Regeneration is currently occurring in developments such as Edgware Green where social housing has been completely re-purposed into a high-specification property development.

Edgware has the advantage of being positioned between Stanmore and Mill Hill. This gives residents the sort of travel flexibility that is rarely found in Zone 5 as both Northern and Jubilee Lines are easily accessible. Further down the A5 towards London, other new property developments are taking shape and forming brand-new neighbourhoods. Drab warehouses are giving way to exciting new builds like TNQ with its high-rise apartments, amenities and landscaped gardens.

The main thoroughfare in Edgware is a thriving mix of retail outlets and restaurants. A modern shopping centre is positioned right next to the Tube station and a major bus terminal provides links to most of North London. Large family homes and plenty of open green spaces are particularly attractive to young families as is the presence of several excellent independent schools. Travelling into the City and West End is surprisingly straightforward. The Northern Line with its twin Underground networks, serves both Central London areas and commuters can be at their desks in just 35 minutes.
