Views and Scenery
Pros:
"You can see the most remarkable views of London."
"Absolutely amazing scenery and views of part of Londons skyline especially in late spring and summer time with the bright night."
"Fabulous city view and great point to observe the sunsets. Even during a hot day, you will always find a spot for your blanket."
"Primrose Hill offers a spectacular vista of the London skyline."
"An awesome place to visit in London with beautiful views of the entire city."
"Great little park with a beautiful view across Central London."
"What a beautiful park with great views of London Skyline!"
Cons:
"The only thing that annoyed me was the stick-insect flies which were all over the grass, and me:/, even though they can fly."
"Take breathing apparatus, because there was very pungent stench at the top."
"It's quite polluted, sadly, so bring some bags to take your rubbish to a bin once you're done."
"Nice view and I can imagine it would be good for a sunset but don’t bother going in summer as the sun sets on the opposite side to the view so that’s pointless."
"If you're looking for a photography spot for the skyline, you might be better off somewhere else..."
"It gets very busy on a sunny day, but it's still worth it."
"It's a nice place, just when it's not busy I guess. The views aren't as spectacular as you'd expect."
Accessibility and Location
Pros:
"A 15 min walk from Camden town tube station so no need really for public transport."
"Easy walk to Regent's Park to enjoy views of London Zoo or the boating lake."
"A short walk from Camden market."
"Located in a safe and quaint London 'village' full of art & fashion shops, traditional English pubs, top-notch restaurants, and cafes."
"It's a 10 minute walk away from Chalk Farm Station."
"Head over from the centre. Enjoy a stroll up Marleybone High St, through regents Park, up Primrose Hill and enjoy the panorama of the prettiest Spot in London."
"It's less than a 10 minutes walk from the Chalk Farm station."
Cons:
"No rest rooms are there."
"Needs more toilets though. The queue sometimes takes half an hour."
"If you want to come back to Central London from here nearest tube station is 18 mins (walk towards Swiss Cottage station) from hill and 274 bus with some delays."
"Dogs aren't allowed in the exercise area."
"Please note there are no shops here."
"To get there, try getting off near St James terrace mews or near the zoo as the walk from Regent Park is 30mins or so."
"Toilets are really scarce, and the supermarket's a bit far, so stock up before reaching the top of the hill."
Facilities and Amenities
Pros:
"Parking is free after 6:30 p.m. and normally there's plenty."
"The park has a toilet and a cafe."
"There are a range of coffee shops and pubs."
"A big play area with lots of apparatus for kids is an add on."
"Café and toilets children's play area and outdoor gym."
"The park is equipped with many benches with satisfying surrounding areas, discussing good times or simply hanging out."
"Good coffee shop with satisfactory coffee."
Cons:
"The park closes Friday - Sunday at 10pm."
"The view is awesome! Unfortunately while I was there, there was an inconsiderate person playing very loud, offensive music from his loudspeaker, while smoking weed and drinking."
"It seriously irritates me that one inconsiderate person can ruin what should be a lovely experience for others."
"Excellent place for exercise and recreation but there needs to be some rangers to cone in and crack down on the smoking of cannabis on the hill. Ruins the atmosphere and brings down the class of an otherwise elegant scene."
"Only unfortunate thing is the crazy (possibly drug induced) folks come out once in a while to rant and rave on the hill, which can be concerning."
"The park does get a bit over crowded especially at the top."
"They still have plastic fence around the top part of the hill for some reason ruins the mood!"
Recreation and Activities
Pros:
"Definitely a place to spend a few hours on a nice day."
"The expansive green space offers ample room for recreational activities, such as flying kites, playing sports, or even practicing yoga."
"It attracts a diverse crowd, with multicultural backgrounds, kid and pet friendly."
"Perfect for a lovely stroll or to spend the day and have a picnic."
"We found a perfect spot for a picnic close to the top of the hill, with the views in front of us."
"A great picnic/rec area, well maintained and with a good view of the London skyline -- especially at night."
"You can build it into a run and get some uphill workout, or have some sandwiches and a bottle of wine."
Cons:
"Nothing remarkable, but as far as parks go a pleasant visit."
"For Mum's there is a very good kids play area."
"It would be great if they could get more music into the park somehow, but it's just beautiful in any case."
"A decent place to walk dogs. Not ideal but functional."
"My advice is this is a runners and dog lovers area so if you dot like that then probably not the best place for you."
"Stank of bud so if you wanna bun this is the place for you."
"The games are nice for the kids, lot of space to run, play soccer and whatever you prefer."
