Swiss Cottage is an area of North-west London in the Borough of Camden.

The area is named after a Public House opened in the 1800s, now called "Ye Olde Swiss Cottage". The road to Finchley in Barnet passes through here and the area is usually referred to as Finchley Road and has also given that name to the nearby tube station.

Local amenities include an Odeon Cinema, a main library, The Hampstead Theatre and assorted shops the length of the Finchley Road. Adjoining neighbourhoods include Belsize Park to the West, Hampstead Village to the North West, St John's Wood to the South and West Hampstead and Kilburn to the East. Regent's Park is within walking distance. Local Hotels include a Marriot and Holiday Inn Express. Notable restaurats include Globe (European) and Benihana (Oriental griddle).

Swiss Cottage is in the Hampstead & Highgate constituency for which the present MP is Glenda Jackson.
