Property in St John's Wood - Letting Agents InsightKnight Frank LLP
Louise O’Driscoll, Lettings Manager for Knight Frank’s St John’s Wood office, discusses the benefits of living in the area, where tenants come from, what property types are most in demand, and how the market is likely to perform in the coming months.
St John’s Wood is a popular area where families and young professionals reside. It has become more cosmopolitan over the years and is particularly popular with tenants from America and Japan, as well as international students studying at the London Business School. The American School of London (ASL) in Waverley Place, which is in the top ten in the area, is a significant attraction for families and more are choosing to relocate here for this reason.
St John’s Wood is a magnet for cricket and music fans – Lords Cricket Ground is on the doorstep, as is the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios and the nostalgia that surrounds it, where thousands of visitors have “walked the walk” across the crossing and paid tribute to The Beatles on the outside walls.
The area benefits from fantastic transport links including the Jubilee Line (underground) and plenty of buses. Those seeking sport and leisure facilities have the wonderful open spaces of Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, from which you have the most spectacular views over London.
