Belsize Park — is it a good place to live?

Belsize Park pairs streets that measure quieter than the capital's average with enough everyday places within a walk to score among the stronger in London — the trade-off is green space, where the walk to a real park is longer than is typical for the city.

Overall: above the London average on the six things we score
