Property For Sale in Swiss Cottage - NW3

Swiss Cottage is a landmark in North West London in the London Boroughs of Camden & Westminster.

Swiss Cottage is not a district of North West London but the vicinity of a road junction. It takes it name from the eponymous Swiss Cottage, a building that had been both a tavern and a restaurant. The landmark sits on the crossroads of the districts of St. John`s Wood, Hampstead, West Hampstead and Primrose Hill.

The Swiss Cottage was originally a farmhouse`s dairy built between 1803 and 1804 when the surrounding area was in countryside outside London. It then became a public house called The Swiss Tavern as the city limits expanded in the early 19th Century. The name possibly coming from a contemporary opera.

In 1965, the original architecturally-looking English building was reconstructed in the style of an actual Swiss chalet or cottage. Today the building hosts a pub called the Ye Olde Swiss Cottage.

London Underground chose to use the distinctive name for its nearby tube station.

The area has never been an official geographic location. St. John`s Wood High School was established in 1876 in Winchester Road, and All Souls C of E, Fairhazel Gardens, Belsize Park are two addresses that today may be described as `Swiss Cottage` but an area called `Swiss Cottage` has never existed.
