Hotels in Muswell Hill & Highgate, London

Muswell Hill and Highgate sit on high ground in the N10 and N6 postcodes, north of Hampstead and west of Wood Green. The area is defined by Alexandra Palace — the Victorian exhibition hall on Muswell Hill itself — and by the north side of Hampstead Heath, including Kenwood House and Highgate Cemetery. It’s one of the quietest residential parts of inner London.

Transport is by bus and National Rail rather than tube: the Northern line terminates at Highgate, and Alexandra Palace station (Great Northern) connects to Finsbury Park (Piccadilly line) and King’s Cross in 20 minutes. The N2 and A1 run through for road access. For visitors attending events at Alexandra Palace, staying locally removes the end-of- evening transport problem that central hotels create.

Accommodation is limited — this is a residential area, not a hotel district — but the small independent properties available offer rates well below equivalent stays in Zone 1. Below are 2 hotels in Muswell Hill and immediate surroundings.
