Volume 2 covers Greater Belsize – the Chalcots / Eton College Estate, the Fitzjohn’s / Netherhall area as well as the part of Belsize located on the eastern side of Haverstock Hill. Combining its fascinating historical background with a present-day architectural tour, The Belsize Story records the evolution of Belsize Park right up to the present day, featuring the buildings, the settings and most importantly, its people.

The films are directed and photographed by award-winning filmmaker David S Percy who lived as a child in Manor Mansions, on the corner of Belsize Grove and Belsize Park Gardens NW3.

"My congratulations for a film which has impressed everyone I have shown it to here at English Heritage."
Professor Andrew Saint, English Heritage

"The documentary gives a wonderful account of the history of the village, its architecture, its shops and its residents and community. It is very informative and engaging with as a bonus Fiona Bruce’s voice (excellent choice). Having lived in the Belsize Village and enjoyed its neighbourhood for over 15 years, the movie only reinforces how beautiful Belsize Park is and how privileged we are to reside in this part of London.
