Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

It was close to shops and the tube was across the road. Luckily the road itself was very quiet. Very handy for getting into the city where I work. Stepney Green is very nearby too.

Although there isn't much in the immediate area, there are new, exciting places opening quite often including directly on the development. Vauxhall is a 10 minute walk away and I cycle everywhere when the weather is good - Soho in less than 30 mins, Battersea in 10, Brixton in 15.

Nice area with lots of shops and cafes nearby. Lots of pubs and restaurants. Good public transport.

No problem with the local area. 10 minute walk to tube links. Very close to bus links.

Landlord claims 5 min walk to Balham tube but even as long-legged fast walker it was near 10. Bus handy for Streatham/Balham, plenty shops on Balham high road. Feel safe walking home at night. Area is expensive, but cheaper than Clapham or nearer high road, location is officially Tooting and access to common is easy (no view of it from flat), few minutes walk down street.

Good area, friendly neighbours. There is a residents' Facebook group which was great for getting help with things or buying/selling stuff. For example, shortly after we moved in, I bought a pair of curtains from a neighbour who was moving out for £20.

The neighbourhood is the best. Very good transport and shops. There is underground, busses and DLR.

The area is lovely, full of families, a nearby large park and a quaint high street that supplies all the essentials. A little further from a tube station.

The area is great. The neighbours are OK. The walls are thin, so its normal to hear whats going on around.
