South Hampstead High Lower School or St Christopher's

Hello was hoping current or former parents can provide me with some more info as to how South Hampstead High (lower school) and St Christopher's compare (other than the fact that SHHS lower goes onto upper and St C is prep only)
Are they similar in terms of curriculum, atmosphere, student body etc or quite different? And any parents had children that were accepted to both? Which did you decide and why?
Thoughts appreciated.

I only know South Hampstead senior school, which we're really happy with and seems stuffed to the gills with girls who've come from St Christopher's (and who all seem lovely).

I guess it all depends on what your ideal secondary school would be, though I know it seems crazy to be thinking in these terms so early. If you'd want your daughter to go to SHHS, then your choice is obvious. If you want her to go to a different secondary school (I guess St Paul's because these days there's not much of a difference academically between SHHS and North London Collegiate/City or at least not enough of one), then I'm sure St C's would prepare her well.

I know which I'd choose of the two, but actually I wouldn't really want either as I don't think kids should go to single sex primary schools and state primaries do a great job.
