Welcome to Belsize Village
This site is owned and edited by Robert Follis and all opinions expressed are his.
Robert was born in the Middlesex Hospital, grew up in Woburn Square WC1 and has lived in Belsize Park since 1984. He works from home, can be found in La Paletta or The Belsize Kitchen at least four times a day and has a three year old son called Thomas.
After living in Lancaster Grove for a decade, he bought his house in Belsize Lane from Angela King at Heywoods in 1994 and they have been friends ever since. He loves his village community and Christmas lights. He hates 4x4 drivers, litter louts and the school run.
Robert organises the Belsize Village Association, makes the Village Xmas lights happen (with the help of Angela King) and brought flowers to the Village this summer.

The Village Flowers came from us
Paid for by the BVA. Organised by Angela King of Heywoods with me helping.
After disappointing summer 2011 flowers, we have changed to a professional supplier and are really pleased with the winter 2011/12 planting.
