Five reasons why you need to move to The Draper

Nestled in the heart of leafy Colindale, The Draper is perfectly placed for those seeking the best of both worlds, offering a local community atmosphere with quick links into central London. For those looking to eat locally, the Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall (otherwise known as ‘London’s Capital of Asian Cuisine’) is just around the corner. Keen to shop? Brent Cross Shopping Centre is just a short journey away, with over 120 stores to browse. Looking for a family day out? Spend a Saturday exploring the RAF Museum for free.

Let’s be honest, finding a decent London rental with real green space nearby isn’t easy. But at The Draper, you’ve got 25 acres of parkland right on your doorstep. From open lawns to pockets of woodland, your daily stroll just got a serious upgrade. Whether it’s a picnic in one of Beaufort Park’s landscaped gardens, a morning jog to the sports facilities in nearby Silkstream Park, or a weekend visit to the historic Kenwood House, life at The Draper puts nature firmly within reach, without leaving north west London.

Located just a short walk from Colindale Station, residents at The Draper have easy access to north west London and beyond. Thanks to the Northern Line, the natural beauty of Hampstead Heath and the iconic skyline sunsets of Primrose Hill are within easy reach. Meanwhile, King's Cross is just a 20-minute trip away, with a further four minutes on to Leicester Square, and an easy 30 minutes to Waterloo and Bank respectively. Planning a city escape? Easy access to the M25 means weekend getaways are more convenient than ever.

When it comes to world-class amenities, The Draper is right up there. With amenities designed by Barcelona-based design firm ADC Atelier (responsible for the design of several Soho House properties), residents can enjoy elegant interiors and state-of-the-art facilities. Need a change of pace from your WFH set-up? Head to one of the co-working spaces available, complete with bookable meeting rooms. Fancy a catch-up? Visit the residents’ lounge on the 9th floor and settle in for a night of socialising. Here for the views? Catch a stunning sunset over north west London’s skyline from the 5,500 square-foot rooftop terrace. Yes, really. There are even guest suites for visiting friends or relatives, styled by ADC Atelier and design studio, Studio Iro.

Enjoy living in places steeped in local history? Well, look no further. Colindale has it all. Shaped by its bold transformation from a rural hamlet to a modern, thriving neighbourhood, Colindale has embraced change just as much as its history. What was once a peaceful farmland area has now developed into a ‘hub of innovation and progress’ – thanks to its significant role in British aviation history and legacy. Oh, and did we mention The Draper is built on the site of the Hendon Aerodrome? Yes, that would be the world’s first civilian airfield. In more recent years, Colindale has undergone a new wave of revitalisation, with the neighbourhood further transformed into the multicultural, modern community it is today, making for a unique yet connected lifestyle in the heart of north west London.
