St John's Wood is a leafy residential district north of Regent's Park, with large villas, mansion blocks and the village shops of St John's Wood High Street. It is home to Lord's Cricket Ground, Abbey Road Studios and two private hospitals, and has a large international and Jewish community.
We collect from homes and apartment blocks across NW8, from the Wellington and St John and St Elizabeth hospitals, and from Lord's on match days, when we agree a pickup point away from the crowds.
We also cover nearby Maida Vale, Swiss Cottage, Marylebone, Regent's Park, Primrose Hill, Kilburn, Little Venice and Belsize Park.
