Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

The road the house is on is nice, and some of the surrounding areas are also nice. There are some clear signs of improvement such as an M&S food and good bars/cafes. Streatham High Street is still not that great though.

Muswell hill is wonderful. It's 20 minutes walk to the tube. Plenty of pubs and shops. Feels safe and friendly

Local area is fine with no major issues, a bit grubby but fine. It is close to underground and stamford hill.

Local area is ok but a little boring as there isn't much in the way of shops, &c. It seemed like a relatively safe neighbourhood but eerily quiet.

For me the local area was unpleasant although as mentioned the long term neighbours were lovely. Really pleasant people. There was a lot of movement among neighbours but that is to be expected in London. It is on a long road with several late night corner stores. It is reasonably near to a late night Tesco superstore. As mentioned bus stop opposite and overground train station a ten minute (at most) walk. I cycle and the cycling was horrendous. The roads and infrastructure are poorly maintained, large potholes, and dangerous driving.

Fine, well located for joys of rye lane and station. Neighbors a bit noisy but overall the location is really good and close to the park.

The flat is in a very good area, close to transport and amenities. High street is in walking distance.

Burgled twice. People urinating in the doorway every week. If you can bear that, well situated for shops and travel.

The area is magnificent. Love it. Strongly recommend if you are into sports. River path there is awesome.

The area is lovely and safe which is why we decided to move there. Just in the wrong flat !
