Camden/Haringey · London
Highgate sits in the comfortable middle — enough going on without the weekend chaos. Crime perception here is among the best we track. Green space is a genuine strength rather than a token park.
Day to day, Highgate gives you a big supermarket (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda or Morrisons), a Waitrose or M&S, gyms, barbers, beauticians, veggie & vegan spots, churches, a synagogue, a big park and a pool or leisure centre.
Based on its profile, Highgate tends to work best for families prioritising schools and safety; LGBTQ+ residents looking for a visibly welcoming area; runners, dog-walkers and green-space lovers.
