Primrose Hill

La fameuse colline. Située entre Camden et le regent park, ce petit monticule est un lieu incontournable de Londres.
Après un après midi de shopping à Camden, je décide de trainer mon amie à Primrose hill. Nous déambulons dans le magnifique quartier de Primrose, émerveillé par les petits commerces tous aussi beaux les uns des autres.
Ça commence à grimper, et soudain j’aperçois du vert. Telle une enfant, je cours pour me dépêcher d’arriver sur cette si célèbre colline.
Et la, la pas si petite colline, la pas si haute colline me met au tapis. Finalement ça grimpe dur. Je suis essoufflé, et mes jambes fatiguent après tant d’heures de marches dans la journée.
Puis, vient la récompense. Mon amie et moi, nous nous asseyons sur l’herbe, puis sans un mot, nous reprenons notre soufflé en observant avec joie la superbe vue sur Londres. Le soleil se couche et donne au bâtiment une couleur dorée magnifique. On est heureuse. Primrose hill est la parfaite adéquate entre verdure et modernité. Des vallons, des arbres, et une vue imprenable sur le centre ville de Londres.
Encore un parc qui fait de Londres une ville si merveilleuse.

It seems quite underwhelming from the base of the hill, my first impression was ‘oh so that’s it?’
It’s very easy to hike and surprisingly, has lovely views of the London skyline.
It’s a nice little surprise and worth stopping to see if you’re in the area or walking through the Regents Park.

Tel Rocky qui gravit les marches du Museum Of Art de Philadelphie, sans forcément le faire en courant, c’est avec une certaine fierté qu’une fois arrivé tout en haut de Primrose Hill, on profite du cadre exceptionnel qui nous est offert.
Une vue imprenable sur tout Londres totalement gratuite et sans avoir à aller à perpète. Dans un même champ de vision se côtoie le London Eye, la cathédrale St Paul et the Gherkin. On peut rejoindre le parc depuis Regent’s Park situé juste en dessous ou par Camden Town

Un clásico londinense es la colina de Primrose, con excelentes vistas y grandes recuerdos en mi haber. Para acceder a este agradable parque donde pasean familiares, amigos y perros, se puede dar un paseo por el barrio de casas elegantes y tiendas para gente adinerada que lo rodea. También recomiendo comprar algo en el supermercado de la esquina, antes de subir la empinada cuesta, para disfrutar de una fruslería en la cima mientras ves los edificios de la city y las jaulas de los monos del zoo, que también está cerca.

Don’t know if I can say anything about Primrose Hill that will do it justice. I am sure once you visit it and take in the amazing view over the city you would agree that it is one of the most amazing experiences.
This is also a very popular location for viewing fireworks!

A must-​see for anyone visiting London. A serene piece of land with outstanding views of the bustling city– it really is it’s own little world.

The first time I saw Primrose Hill was when I was child watching the film 101 Dalmatians. I still remember the scene in my head but at the time I hadn’t realized that drawing was based on a real location out in London. Fast forward some decades later and this time I’m in the exact same spot standing on the hill and gazing at London landmarks from a distance. It was lovely.
It was pretty quiet on the day we went however I imagine it’s busier during the warmer months with picnic-​ers, joggers, dog walkers, bikers, what have you.
Lovely park, lovely dogs/​people, lovely neighborhood. I’m definitely returning.

Primrose hill is such a pretty, relaxing site.
My boyfriend took me when we first started dating, we went to fly a kite and watch the sunset. It was lovely, you can see a lot of London, lots of fun to try and name the different buildings and areas.
The park was quite busy, the people were also friendly, lots of children playing and dog walkers and some others sitting with their blankets too.
After sunset, the lights in the park came on. This was nice because they weren’t too bright, but calming and went well with the atmosphere.

On a clear day, you can see the whole of London, from London Zoo, Post Office Tower, Centre Point, London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, «the Gherkin» to the Shard and Canary Wharf in the East.
A fab park too with a children’s playground at the bottom of the hill and across from Regent’s Park and London Zoo.
Also a great place to catch the New Year’s Eve fireworks, if unable to get a ticket to the fireworks in Central London.

This is a really lovely park! I’m glad the hotel staff recommended us to walk here. It was much closer to use than Regents. It’s an easy stroll and very spacious. I felt very relaxed here. I think we were a bit oversold on the «best view of the downtown skyline» but nevertheless it was pretty nice. Typical London fog covered up some of the view but we got the jist of it.

Je né vais pas vous mentir, ma soeur m’a au départ traîné de force à Primrose Hill un jeudi matin, sous prétexte que c’était là que Jude Law emmenait ses enfants jouer.
Au final, pas d’enfants de star en vue ce jour-​là, mais une vraie bonne surprise.
Ce parc de moyenne taille tout en pentes et en plaines est d’un calme et d’une tranquillité étonnants, quand on réalise qu’on se trouve au centre de Londres. Très propre, avec plein de bancs, c’est l’endroit idéal pour piqué-​niquer en famille ou faire une sieste, tout en jetant des coups d’oeil discrets alentour pour vérifier qu’il n’y a pas de célébrité en mode incognito (on est greluche ou on né l’est pas).
La grosse plus-​value, comme les autres avis l’expliquent, c’est surtout la petite colline qui permet, lorsqu’on se trouve à son sommet, d’avoir une vue superbe de l’horizon urbain londonien. Juste magique.
Pensez à faire un tour dans les quartiers résidentiels autour (le triangle John’s Wood /​Chalk Farm /​Camden Town vaut le coup), remplis de maisons colorées et de petits restos cool.

A tan solo 10 minutos de Camden podrás encontrar uno de los mejores parques de Londres para disfrutar de las vistas de la ciudad.
Tras subir la colina que está en mitad del parque podrás ver el Shard, el Gherkin, el London Eye y si te fijas, hasta la Torre Victoria.

Great place to see beautiful views of the London skyline.
Enjoy a walk through Regents Park, enjoy a picnic, or just relax away from the city.
This is located in a very cute neighborhood.
My little brother loved Primrose Hill so much he proposed to his wife here. Check it out for yourself.

Wait, we can review parks on Unilocal???Why not? Great place to go for the hill running and the views. There have been professional film crews there 90% of the times I’ve been — don’t get distracted from your jog!

Sometimes you need a break from the hustle-​bustle. Sometimes your lungs scream out: «fresh air, you haz? THXKBAI». When that happens… consider Primrose Hill.
It’s a park. Beautiful at all times of the year, the city views from here are stunner. Go at sunset or — for the truly bold — go for sunrise. People are out there instagramming *without using a filter*; it’s just that naturally beautiful.
Green, lush, but also small enough as a park that I don’t get turned around and disoriented (sorry, Hyde Park). Good transportation options around the perimeter. Grab a coffee, friend, book, blanket, camera, fave tunes (essentially: some of your favourite things) and make it better by heading to the Hill. Trust.
Unilocal note: a dangerous place for dog-envy…I wanted to fill my pockets with liver treats and Pied Piper-​style lead ALL THE DOGS ON PRIMROSE HILL HOME WITH ME

OK, você está em Londres e acha que a vista mais bonita é a do London Eye, ou talvez prefira subir ao topo da St. Paul’s Cathedral mas eu posso garantir que pôr-​do-​sol tão bonito quanto o que você pode ver no Primrose Hill é difícil de achar.
Alguém uma vez me disse que este é o ponto natural mais alto da cidade e como está dentro do Regent’s Park a caminhada até aqui é realmente divertida.
Em um dia quente de verão você pode fazer um picnic, chamar alguém especial para sentar com você, tirar muitas fotos e registrar aquele momento.
Um dia cheio de neve a diversão é maior ainda, você pode fazer bonecos de neve, jogar bolinhas de neve nos seus amigos e o mais legal deslizar até o pé.
Suba até o topo, respire fundo e deixe que o ar de Londres e toda aquela sensação faça parte de você.

Great park for views of the city, fresh air, and exercise. We came in hopes to take pics of the city at sunrise, but the view goes against the sun. I’d try for sunset if you’re looking to take photos.
In general, very nice park filled with people working out and walking dogs.

For a nice view of London, Primrose Hill is the place to go. I love going on a nice summer day for a picnic and to sit and watch the planes circle the city and fly over. It’s a peaceful getaway from the chaos of the city.

such a lovely park with fantastic views of london. i came here on a cold autumn sunday, so the park was beautiful with all the changing colours of the season, but it would also be super amazing for a picnic on a hot summer day, to watch the sunset on a clear night, for a cold winter stroll… actually, it’s probably amazing all the time.
it is also full of dogs — and lots of puppies when we were there — just lovely — my puppy had a great time playing with all the local pooches and rolling around in the grass (his favourite pastime)

In my opinion the view from Primrose Hill is the best in London, with every major landmark visible on a clear day.
It is also good for New Years Eve, as all the fireworks on the Embankment are visible without the hassle on being in the crowds on the Embankment.

This area is really great for all those of you who want to work out in the open air. There’s 16 different stations on this «trim trail» and believe me — once you’re through with them, you literally fell like a different person… especially the next day, when all of your muscles start acting up!
There’s loads of fit people working out here — some accompanied by their personal trainers, some in small groups and some even by themselves. But everyone here seems to be on the same mission: to get fit. (Speaking of personal trainers, you may want to do some research for personal trainers who use this as part of their workout territory — Tim Hayes Personal Training comes to mind.)
The biggest perk of this trim trail — however — is the beautiful view on beautiful bodies: I mean, who doesn’t like to watch a Tom Cruise look-​alike do pull-ups…especially when the shirt’s off ;-)
(The training area is situated behind the hedge next to the public toilets and across the road from the London Zoo bird avery.)

Huge park. Get up that hill, don’t look back til you’ve reached the top, and enjoy the purty view.
Lovely park, hill with a nice view of the city… makes me wish I had a dog to walk.

Waaaay overdue post on primrose hill. I ventured a few times last summer and it was wonderful, didn’t see any celebrities sunbathing away. (I DON’T KNOW WHERE THE DAILY MAIL GOT ALL THOSE PICTURES OF CELEBS FROLICKING?!) I see none. (or maybe I’m just out of touch with the celebrity world?)
The scenery is amazing, as you can look towards the south of the river, much like Greenwich Park’s similar view from the south looking towards the north. It’s a great view to take in on a summer’s evening. But haven’t been brave enough to venture that far in the winter! LOL

Londres est une ville verte, il y a des parcs un peu partout dans la ville, plus ou moins grands mais c’est toujours super agréable de s’y balader ou de s’y poser un instant, quand on a un peu de temps et que le temps le permet !
Je né les ai pas tous fait encore mais cette fois-​ci j’ai découvert celui-​ci. J’ai adoré.
Il n’est pas très grand, mais il a une particularit, c’est cette petite colline qu’on gravit et qui offre une vue de Londres époustouflante.
J’y suis allée en journée mais il parait que le coucher du soleil de la-​haut est magnifique.
Ça me donnerait presqu’envie de me mettre au jogging !

While in town last week, a friend took us to Primrose Hill to partake in Guy Fawkes Night activities.
It was a little chilly and rainy, but a surprising number of people turned out, and we all had a good view of the area fireworks. Despite the fact that fireworks are illegal in the park, a few people were also lighting off some of their own.
I’m sure this park is lovely during the day time, and especially during warmer months.

As you wheeze on the walk up the hill, you may spot written on the path «The view is so nice». The words can still can be made out although now rather worn and faded. These are lyrics taken from Blur’s «For Tomorrow» and despite modern life being ‘rubbish’, once you are up the hill the panorama will take you away and make you forget temporarily about your woes.
I have spent many a nostalgic sunny lazy day picnicking here with friends and in more recent times my boyfriend has forced me to go running up the hill. Yesterday was the first time in while I was struck with how lucky I actually am to live near somewhere so special and scenic. The sun finally out after a heavy afternoon of rainfall, the hill was much quieter than usual. We stretched out on the grass and basked in the warmth with the whole of London spread out before us. Serene, peaceful and romantic — a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

Em uma cidade cercada de excelentes e grandiosos parques, esse pequeno pedaço de verde, localizado em um monte da cidade e praticamente integrado ao Regent’s Park, é um dos meus locais preferidos de Londres. Nem pela grandiosidade, nem pela exuberância de jardins, o que faz de Primrose Hill excepcional é a vista. Do topo do parque se pode ter uma vista panorâmica da cidade enquanto se está fazendo um picnic ou só se descansando ao sol. Isso tudo é tão maravilhoso, porque como Londres é extremamente plana, dispor de um parque localizado no topo de um dos poucos morros da cidade é quase o equivalente a ter acesso a uma maravilhosa vista de um apartamento de cobertura aberta ao público. Fica bem perto do famoso mercado de Camden Town e no caso de estar fazendo uma visita ao mercado, vale a pena espichar o passeio só pra ver Londres de cima. Mas é claro, como nada é perfeito, o tempo tem que estar ao seu favor.

Sure you might huff and puff on the way up, but the thing that will really take your breath away is the view from the top.
With a sunset to your back and an incredible view gently laid out in front of you, this is one of those quiet sacred spots that make you realize just how much you love living in the mayhem that is London.
Take a camera, take a picnic, take a book, take a partner, or just take your time and enjoy. It’s like a veritable «reset» button. (I recommend pushing it a few times before taking out the entire game in an angry frenzy and giving it a full gusted blow.)
