The junction of Belsize Crescent and Belsize Lane with the pedestrianised Belsize Terrace, a Victorian development on the site of Belsize Farm, has long been a typical London village with a range of traditional shops and service providers for local families (and their servants). In recent years it has moved upmarket with the arrival of high-profile show business types in the area and this is reflected in the sort of retail outlets and eating places to be found here now. Typically, in this process the local pub has been replaced by a restaurant.
