Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

great .................................................................................................................

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.

Issues with drugs on the estate yet all neighbours seemed friendly enough, apart from the usual kids running around I had no issues

Quiet and pleasant. Free parking. Safe at night. There are shops close by and tube stations are a 15 min walk away.

Shops and station only 5-10 mins away from home. The building is exposed to the highway.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we were not able to move into this property. All viewings had taken place via pre recorded videos by the occupying tenant.
