Hear the grass growing. With its tree lined streets and substantial family homes, the Hocroft is an oasis of calm sandwiched between the bustling urban areas of West Hampstead and Cricklewood.
The Hocroft is a small, exclusive area of residential roads, its property made up of large detached and semi-detached houses. The wide variety of excellent schools within a short travelling distance has made the Hocroft very popular with families.
Hocroft lies within easy travelling distance of the shopping facilities of Golders Green and Hampstead, with fast links to Central London provided by the overground Thameslink service from Cricklewood Station.

The style you’ll see in most parts of the Hocroft is mainly handsome red-brick, two or three storey houses with square bay windows and tiled roofs.
