Brent Cross
A Regenerating North London Hub with Exceptional Connectivity
About Brent Cross
Looking for an area where convenience meets transformation? Brent Cross might just be your perfect match. Located in the London Borough of Barnet, Brent Cross is undergoing a significant regeneration project that is reshaping the area into a modern destination for living, shopping and business. With excellent transport links, a growing property market and the iconic Brent Cross Shopping Centre at its heart, this North West London enclave offers exciting potential for homeowners, investors and professionals alike.
Retail at the Core: Brent Cross Shopping Centre
Opened in 1976 as the UK’s first stand-alone shopping mall, Brent Cross Shopping Centre remains a key attraction. Home to major brands, restaurants and cafés, it continues to be a retail hotspot in North London. The area surrounding the centre is being revitalised with new homes, parks, schools and community amenities - making Brent Cross a truly 21st-century place to live and thrive.
Exciting Regeneration and Property Market
The Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration project is bringing thousands of new homes to the area, ranging from luxury apartments to affordable family housing. Whether you're looking for a modern riverside flat or a contemporary family townhouse, the new developments are designed to suit a range of buyers and renters. The area is also close to the traditional residential streets of Hendon and Golders Green, where you’ll find characterful 1930s semis and Edwardian terraces.
Green Spaces and Family Life
Despite its urban infrastructure, Brent Cross is close to several open spaces. Clitterhouse Playing Fields and nearby Hampstead Heath provide green havens for joggers, dog walkers, and families alike. With local playgrounds, riverside walks and nature reserves like Brent Reservoir (Welsh Harp) just a short drive away, the area is ideal for balancing city living with access to nature.
