It was once a small Medieval parish, thatʼs certainly still kept some of its historic features. Anyone visiting the area would be surprised to find out itʼs in London, as many residents say it feels like a village. The area does have its own village green, which is surrounded by independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and a pub. Many of the properties are Edwardian in character, and have an average price of around £700,000, according to Rightmove. But just off The Green is the famous and highly desirable Broad Walk, where house prices have sold for an average of £3,150,000. The road has often been called ʼmillionaires rowʼ. One of the houses was used as The X Factor house during the 10th series in 2013 The suburb is around nine miles from Central London, and itʼs a popular choice for many commuters with excellent transport links. The neighbourhood has itʼs own station. It takes around 30 minutes to get to Moorgate on Great Northern services. Itʼs also in close reach of the Piccadilly line at Southgate, Arnos Grove, and Bounds Green.

Quakers were the main settlers in Winchmore Hill, and their 1790 meeting house is still used as a religious building today. Itʼs bordered by Grovelands Park, an expanse of green space with designated Grade II* listed status. Famous British architect, John Nash, designed the beautiful Grovelands House thatʼs located within the grounds of the park. Grovelands has tennis courts, bowling, fishing, a playground, pitches and an outdoor gym. The area is not only concentrated around The Green. It extends to Aldermans Hill in Palmers Green, and borders Edmonton. It also has some pretty famous residents. They reportedly include Baby Spice Emma Bunton, presenter and singer Myleene Klass, and singer Louise Redknapp. Councillors for the Winchmore Hill ward, Cllr Maria Alexandrou and Cllr Lee Chamberlain spoke about what makes the neighbourhood a great place to live in: "Winchmore Hill has transformed from a hamlet into a beautiful residential suburb adorned with lush greenery and mature tree lined streets. "The architectural style ranges include attractive Edwardian and Georgian houses with original features as well as quaint cottages and the imposing gothic design of St Paul’s Church. Broad Walk is the exquisite millionaire’s road in the area, bordering the local park. Grovelands Park has often been called "the jewel in Winchmore Hillʼs crown" (Image: Getty Images) "Grovelands Park is the jewel in Winchmore Hill’s crown. This leafy green suburb hosts a train station which still retains its charismatic timber canopy and has easy transport links to the city. The bus routes support travel to the local excellent schools. Winchmore Hill is one of the safest places and its picturesque rural setting is a welcoming place to reside." Charlie Menegatos owns Going Greek, a restaurant and takeaway business with one of five North London restaurants located on The Green in Winchmore Hill. He says the area is ʼcosyʼ and ʼfamily orientatedʼ, while everyone loves ʼto help one anotherʼ. He added: "Winchmore Hill has a very cosy/family orientated feel when it comes to owning a business in the area. Steps to pedestrianize The Green and make it a lovely al fresco dining area has also given Winchmore Hill a real boost." Havilands, an estate agents that operates in the area, said the Winchmore Hill property market has "always been in its own bubble" and buyers "come from all over London". A spokesperson continued: "During Covid the prices unexpectedly rose to limits we couldnʼt believe. "Winchmore Hill is known for its period homes from the Victorian and Edwardian era and there are plenty around. N21 also has some very premium roads, like Broad Walk, Seaforth Gardens, Branscombe Gardens and Eversley Crescent with its luxury detached homes that are rarely available for sale." Itʼs easy to see why Winchmore Hill was named one of the best places to live in the UK last year by The Times. The area has a lot to offer with good schools, lots to do, and great transport links. Havilands says the area is "the smaller version of its big brothers Crouch End and Muswell Hill," which are two other fashionable suburban neighbourhoods in North London.
