Schools in Camden, London

A borough shaped by artistic and intellectual tradition, Camden spans from the West End's southern edge northward through Camden Town and Kentish Town to the open heathland of Hampstead Heath. Established on 1 April 1965 from the former metropolitan boroughs of Holborn, St Pancras, and Hampstead, it holds around 210,000 residents across roughly 22 square kilometres.

Belsize Park and Hampstead have long been among the most school-competitive postcodes in London, with families concentrating there for both primary and secondary places. West Hampstead and Tufnell Park extend the sought-after residential belt westward and south, while Bloomsbury's university quarter anchors the cultural southern edge alongside the British Museum and the British Library. Northern and Jubilee line services thread through the borough.
