Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

Live in another unit, if you think £600 is sensible to be charged for living in the poverty safari for middle class kids that is Fountayne Road. Loads of very nice people live on the road.

Leather Lane is very noisy, with noise disturbances lasting well past midnight, yet it has one of London's best food markets; incredible quality for great prices. Hatton Garden is the premier place for jewellery shopping, and Clerkenwell itself is a beautiful area perfect for quiet strolls. It is very well connected. Soho and Shoreditch are 20 minutes walk away, and the area is serviced by Chancery Lane and Farringdon stations, allowing you to get to cities on the Thameslink line, such as Brighton or Cambridge, with relative ease.

very nice neighbourhood with very nice transort links. but unfortumstely this doesnt make up for having to go through a one year lawsuit

The neighborhood is nice enough although crime has become a serious concern and there is not one weekend where you do not hear people fighting in the streets, police cars chasing down criminals or general lawlessness in the area

Good area in theory - close to the station and a lively neighbourhood, but in practice it was AWFUL.

We recognised, being on the ground floor, with the bedroom looking onto the street, that there would be traffic noise, but in addition, the cafe next door has its patrons standing right outside the window all day and night. Dodgy dealings go on on that corner late at night, with car engines and radios blaring right outside the window. I've been ushered inside the flat by 4 drunk men trying to change their friend out of soiled clothes in the yard, woken up to rough sleepers rummaging in the bins, been threatened by a drug dealer who I asked to turn off his car radio, been cat called by men loitering outside my own house and laughed at when I ask them not to litter, been shouted at by the next door cafe owner who was insistent that the maggots in the front yard were our fault and causing his business damage, despite the litter coming from his patrons. The list goes on.

I love a lively neighbourhood, but I also like sleep, so I can't recommend this location.

Camden was an amazing area to be in. Great transport links everywhere, amazing food spots.

The area was nice and peaceful - an overground literally right across the road. The high street was 10 mins walk and lots of lovely bars and cafes. Lots of bus links. The only closest supermarkets were tesco express and sainsbury local.
Although the area is nice I’m sorry but it’s just not worth staying at this place and to deal with this dodgy man.

Brilliant lots of lovely cafe and pubs. Nice neighbours and a good atmosphere. The Victoria is a great local to have.

Really dirty building. No management of it whatsoever. Loud area, poor transport links.

great transport inks however felt unsafe walking at night for the first few weeks. local parks are great
