Childs Hill sits at the southern tip of Barnet, wedged between Golders Green, West Hampstead and the Hampstead Heath Extension. It is a dense, tree-lined residential ward with a cosmopolitan high street running through it. The 38 listed buildings include Waterlow Court and the Grade II* terrace at 78–90 Corringham Road, both part of the Hampstead Garden Suburb edge, plus the Grade II* Philipson mausoleum at Golders Green Crematorium. Seventeen outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, Golders Hill Park and the Heath Extension provide substantial green space, and good public-transport access links the Jubilee, Northern and Thameslink lines within a short walk. The flipside is that the ward sees a high volume of through-traffic on Finchley Road and the North Circular, air quality scores below the borough median, and market scores are tight — this is expensive ground for what you get.
