There are few places in London quite as iconic as Lord’s. 🏏

Known as the Home of Cricket, this historic ground has been at the heart of the game since 1814 and remains one of those unmistakably London landmarks that gives St John’s Wood so much of its character.

A little bit of history, a lot of tradition, and right on the doorstep of one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Thinking of renovating before you sell? Not every upgrade will add the value you might expect.

Here are 5 renovations sellers often think will boost their home’s value, but may not:

🏡 Large extensions that sacrifice garden space, parking or storage

🍽️ Luxury kitchens with highly personalised designs

🚪 Turning bedrooms into specialist rooms, such as dressing rooms or gyms

🛁 Hot tubs, bespoke bars and lifestyle upgrades that appeal to a smaller pool of buyers

☀️ Renewable technology such as solar panels and heat pumps, which may not yet recoup their installation cost

The takeaway? Before spending big, think about what buyers actually value. Good presentation, practical maintenance and broad appeal can go a long way.

Despite being one of the biggest changes to the private rental sector in decades, many tenants are still unfamiliar with the Renters’ Rights Act.

Research found that almost 7 in 10 private renters either haven’t heard of the legislation or don’t understand what it means for them.

The changes introduce new protections for tenants, including the removal of Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions and new rules around rent increases.

With the rental landscape evolving, keeping both landlords and tenants informed will be more important than ever.

Landlords and tenants, we're here for you.

There are few London homes with quite as fascinating a story as the Freud Museum.

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Hampstead, this elegant 1930s house was the final home of Sigmund Freud, who moved here with his family after fleeing Vienna in 1938. Today, it offers a rare glimpse into the private world of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.

A few things that give it its character:
🛋️ Freud’s famous psychoanalytic couch remains in his study, alongside his desk, books and personal collection
📚 The house preserves the atmosphere of a working home, rather than a traditional museum
🌿 Its peaceful garden and leafy surroundings feel worlds away from the pace of central London

Beyond its fascinating history, the Freud Museum is a wonderful example of the character found throughout Hampstead, where historic homes, quiet streets and cultural landmarks sit side by side.
