The Primrose Hill set is a name often applied to a group of British film and television actors who achieved celebrity in the mid-1990s. The term grew in use in the British media to identify the group as socially homogeneous and also as a convenient label similar to the Young British Artists and Britpop labels of the same period. Many of the group's members appeared with each other in film and television productions in the mid-nineties and later cast each other in their own productions.
The group was named after Primrose Hill in North London. The core members of the group had lived close to each other as young actors in that area, as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead; the social focus for the group was really the Notting Hill area.
