Highgate is a village based in north London near to Archway, Crouch End, Finchley, Hampstead, Hornsey and Muswell Hill. It is a good location for professionals working in central London as well as young families. There are a couple of schools in the immediate area and public transport links are also very good. Highgate tube station links the village with Camden Town, Moorgate, Leicester Square, Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge, Bank, Clapham Junction and Wimbledon. Highgate perhaps takes it name from its location – one of the highest points of land in London – and is home to many pubs, former stately home Kenwood House, Highgate Wood, Highgate Cemetery, Highgate Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club and Highgate Brewery. The High Street plays host to a lot of hairdressers and estate agencies as well as a Tesco Express, cafes, charity shops, a post office and many other small specialty shops.
