Leaflet Distribution NW1
Introduction
The NW1 postcode covers the areas of Camden Town, Primrose Hill and Mornington Crescent. NW1 is a varied postcode in terms of its character. You will find affluent residential areas, typical London terraced housing, large apartment blocks, local authority housing and commercial and industrial areas all within the postcode’s border.
It is very well connected to other parts of London as well as places outside of the capital. Mornington Crescent and Camden Town underground stations are both located in the middle of the postcode. Both of these provide the locals access to the Northern Line. Camden Road station on the Overground is also very close to Camden Town.
There are seven other underground stations along Euston Road on the southern border of NW1 between Euston and Edgware road. The large transport hub of King’s Cross is also located right next to the south-eastern border of NW1.
The demographics here are younger than the London and UK average with a slightly higher average income.
NW1 is framed by Adelaide Road in the north, Midland Road in the east, Euston Road in the south and Prince Albert Road in the west.
Camden Town
Camden Town is a very busy area and a popular tourist destination. It used to be known as a hub of alternative culture. Many well-known music venues are located here as well as the Camden Market and Camden Lock. It has the Regent’s Canal running through it, which together with the Camden Lock provides an unusual feature for otherwise such a busy part of London.
When it comes to leaflet distribution, it’s worth pointing out that while Camden is largely a commercial area and a tourist destination, it also has a substantial number of residential addresses. Towards the centre of Camden these are often located in Georgian and Victorian terraced houses and sometimes in larger blocks of flats.
Towards the north-eastern corner of NW1, the homes become larger with many semi-detached town houses. This is most visible in the area around Camden Square.
Primrose Hill
When we go further north-west from Camden towards Prince Albert Road and Adelaide Road, we find ourselves in Primrose Hill.
Primrose Hill is a relatively small residential area with a unique character. Many of the roads here are lined with terraced housing but a good number of large Victorian and Regency-era townhouses can also be found here.
This is especially the case the closer we get to Primrose Hill park. Famously, many of these houses are painted in pastel colours which gives the location a unique character.
Even a brief look, will make it clear that Primrose Hill is a very affluent area. It is worth considering including in leaflet distribution campaigns targeting affluent parts of North West London.
Mornington Crescent
The area south of Mornington Crescent station towards Midland Road is another fairly distinct part of NW1. Most of it falls within Somers Town. It includes some deliverable households in terraced houses. However the further south we go, the more large blocks of flats and commercial addresses we find. As such, much of it tends to be excluded from most leaflet distribution campaign focused on NW1.
