Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

very boring, sometimes got followed on the way home by someone intoxicated, even in day time

~10-15 walk to closest tube stops - a bit far for central London
Decent bus access to compensate
Otherwise, very convenient to stores, restaurants, etc. 2 blocks from the fruit sellers of Portobello Road and across from a decent park.
Very dog-friendly, but unfortunately too many dog owners do not clean up after their dogs or leave the bags on the sidewalk. I've never seen any other neighbourhood this bad with dog poo not cleaned up.

The neighbourhood is pretty good. This property is right next to the train station. You have a small market, a bus stop, and a decent pub right across the road.

20 minute walk to Notting Hill, 10 minute walk to Queen's Park, 5 minute walk to high street with groceries. Opposite and next door to the property were noisy residents during the night on some occassions.

Good transport links, close to parks and good schools. Not walking distance to any big supermarkets.

Transportation is alright with around 10-15mins walk to the closet DLR station. However a skatepark is right behind the building, so you will always hear loud music from the skatepark at night. The residential parking is always blocked by cars parked by the parents from the school opposite

Lovely area with great neighbours and a nice small town area with cute shops. Also very accessible for transport

We have had a theft in the building but there were no CCTV to cover the area. There are numerous junkies in the area. Extremely noisy area that will essentially need double glazing windows but were not provided by the landlord.

The local area is a mixed bag. The main road is smelly and dirty and the area is rife with fly tippers. There is however a very nice whatsapp group for keeping in touch with neighbours and those people seem mostly very lovely and normal.

The neighbourhood is quite serene and the neighbours are quite friendly and kind. The only saving grace.
