New Homes in Camden – One of Britain’s Happiest Places

The latest annual ‘Happy at Home’ index by property portal Rightmove has crowned Camden as the third happiest place to live in the UK.

Long celebrated for its creativity, culture and unmistakable character, Camden has now officially taken its place among Britain’s top three ‘feel-good’ neighbourhoods.

As reported in The Standard, it’s the first time in the 14-year history of the survey that Camden has stepped onto the podium. This echoes our own research of NW1 residents which found that area is only becoming stronger, livelier and more loved by the people who call it home.

For a borough known for its boldness, vibrancy and diversity, this recognition is more than deserved. It sits perfectly alongside the vision we’re bringing to life at Camden Goods Yard.

According to Rightmove, residents value a mix of things. This includes access to green spaces and nature, a strong local community, friendly neighbours, amenities and the freedom to ‘be themselves’. 

And that’s Camden through and through. It’s a place where leafy green escapes lie within easy reach and where the buzz of culture, markets, music and independent shops is perfectly complemented with pockets of calm, community spirit and belonging.

Of course, happiness goes beyond just ‘location.’ 

It’s also about how and where people live, the homes they come back to and the environment that supports their everyday mental and physical wellbeing and sense of connection. 
We are extremely proud of the community forming at Camden Goods Yard, which is redefining modern living within NW1.  

Camden Goods Yard is located within walking distance from Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park, and just moments from the iconic Regent’s Canal. It is at the heart of a neighbourhood full of character and charm, but it also oozes all the calm and comfort you’d expect from a home.

The recently launched Gallery collection at Camden Goods Yard offers a curated mix of 108 Manhattan-style one, two, and three bedroom apartments, beautifully designed around a shared outdoor atrium. 

The design pays homage to Camden’s legacy as a haven for artists, musicians and visionaries, blending contemporary living with artistic flair.

Every detail has been crafted with real living, and our residents’ happiness, in mind.

Expansive windows let in the warm glow of the evening, interiors feel calm and elegant with natural materials and gentle textures, and layouts are designed for both entertaining and peaceful downtime.

Camden Goods Yard doesn’t just include beautiful new homes. 

From 2026, residents will also be able to enjoy a new rooftop restaurant and terrace, offering panoramic views.

For everyday wellbeing, residents have access to Camden Goods Yard’s fantastic amenities, which form part of The Regency Club. This includes a 24-hour concierge, a stylish lounge, co-working spaces, three cinema rooms, a fully equipped gym, a 19m swimming pool, sauna and steam room.

Whether you’re winding down after a busy day, meeting friends on the rooftop terrace, or hosting a dinner in a light-filled living room, Camden Goods Yard supports the kind of balanced, connected living that research suggests contributes to people’s happiness.

Camden’s new status as one of the UK’s happiest places to live isn’t just a reflection of the nearby parks, cafés and markets, it’s also about how seamlessly daily life fits together here. 

At Camden Goods Yard, that spirit has shaped every part of the development. This ethos has created a neighbourhood designed to live and to flourish in. It is quickly evolving into a truly mixed-use destination, where the things that make life easier, richer and more inspiring come together in one place. 

The new homes, for example, will sit alongside co-working studios, independent retailers, cafés, and creative spaces, as well as a flagship 48,000 sq ft supermarket opening in 2026. This means residents enjoy the rare luxury of having everyday essentials, food and drink, and social spots all on their doorstep. But what really sets the development apart is its purpose. 

Every element has been thoughtfully curated to reflect Camden’s creative pulse. Affordable workspaces operated by The Camden Collective will support local start-ups and underrepresented entrepreneurs, bringing fresh ideas and innovation into the community. 

The mix of workspace and retail has also been carefully planned to nurture the area’s entrepreneurial spirit, from pioneering tech and fashion brands to small businesses shaping Camden’s next chapter.

Sustainability is at the heart of the neighbourhood. From secure cycle parking, car-sharing schemes and electric vehicle charging points to pedestrian-friendly routes, connectivity to great public transport links and green spaces, Camden Goods Yard supports modern, low-impact living.

As Camden steps onto the ‘happy podium’ for 2025, Camden Goods Yard invites you to discover a new way to live well in one of London’s most loved neighbourhoods.
