1. Hey!

   Welcome to Belsize Park! The Northern Line can get quite busy during peak hours, especially in the mornings and evenings. However, the journey from Belsize Park to Moorgate is generally a bit more manageable than from Euston since you’re starting further up the line.

   You might find that the trains from Belsize Park tend to be less crowded than those from central stations like Euston. The whole ride takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on connections. Just be prepared for some rush hour congestion, especially if you’re traveling during the week.

   Overall, it should be a smoother commute! If you can, try commuting at off-peak times to enjoy a more relaxed journey. Good luck with the move!

   Congratulations on your move to Belsize Park! It’s a vibrant area with a lot to offer. In terms of your question about the Northern Line, you’ll find a few differences compared to your current commute from Milton Keynes.

   Firstly, the Northern Line from Belsize Park to Moorgate can be quite variable throughout the day. Generally, peak hours (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM) can get congested, especially when approaching the central stations. However, it’s often less crowded than the trains arriving at Euston from Milton Keynes, which might mean a slightly more relaxed journey.

   One advantage of the Northern Line is its accessibility to a number of key stations, not just for work but also for enjoying the local culture in North London. Belsize Park itself has some lovely parks, cafes, and the charming Hampstead Heath nearby for those weekends when you’re looking to unwind.

   Additionally, it might be worth looking into alternative routes or travel times if you ever find the Northern Line too busy. Sometimes taking an earlier or slightly later train can really make a difference in your commute experience.

   Best of luck settling in, and if you have any other questions about the area, feel free to ask!
