Regent’s Park Road is the main street of Primrose Hill, a small neighbourhood of pastel-painted Victorian terraces between the Regent’s Park and Chalk Farm. It is lined with independent shops, bookshops, cafés and restaurants, including the Greek taverna Lemonia. A few steps away is the hill itself, with its views across the Regent’s Park to central London. Chalk Farm station is about five minutes’ walk, and Camden Market is beyond the railway bridge.
