Somers Town
Somers Town sits right at the heart of one of London's best-connected corners, with King's Cross St Pancras on the doorstep giving you the Elizabeth line, six Underground lines, Eurostar and national rail all in one place. Surrounding neighbourhoods like Bloomsbury, Camden Town, King's Cross and Regent's Park add further Tube stations, dense cycling infrastructure and Santander Cycles docks, so car-free living is easy wherever you are in the area. This is also a genuinely well-served part of London for everyday life, with hundreds of restaurants and cafés, several supermarkets, pharmacies and strong healthcare provision, including multiple hospitals and GP practices within easy reach.
Families are particularly well catered for. Somers Town itself has several Outstanding-rated primary schools and a Good secondary, Regent High School, while neighbouring areas add further strong options, including King's Cross Academy, Argyle Primary and Camden School for Girls. Crime has fallen three years running in Somers Town, and it sits well below the levels seen in Bloomsbury, Camden Town and King's Cross, giving it a calmer, more settled feel despite its very central location. You'll also find 8 local parks here, adding some welcome green space to the mix.
Where Somers Town really stands out is value. Flats average £503,950, notably cheaper than Bloomsbury, Camden Town and King's Cross, and well below the £1 million-plus prices seen for flats in King's Cross itself. That combination of lower prices, falling crime, excellent schools and some of the best transport links in London makes it a compelling choice for buyers who want central London connectivity without paying the premium charged in neighbouring, more established areas.
