Greenhill, Camden

Greenhill is an area of Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden in Greater London. The name is topographically derived.[1]

The name was applied to a housing estate built here in 1869,[2] to a block of mansion flats built in 1936,[3] and to the local Greenhill Road. Dame Edith Sitwell lived in Greenhill flats from 1961 until shortly before her death in 1964, now marked by an English Heritage blue plaque.[3]
