Ian Nairn says of Hampstead in Nairn's London 1966: "Hampstead is a bit of a joke, though many of its inhabitants are deadly serious about it. As soon as a picturesque street or alley gets well started and you can begin to live the refined life, along comes a great hospital or board school or block of tenements. Clatter and thump, you pick up the pieces and start again. It is not an amusing or exciting contrast, either, just head-on conflict which ends in stalemate. But socially, it has undoubtedly saved Hampstead from becoming intolerably precious. ... The whole place is a china shop with a good many wild bulls in it." This terrace is on the north side of Flask Walk.
