Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

Really nice area, easy access to everywhere and near the station and hampstead heath.

It is a really lovely area with lots of amenities all around a quick walk to a local Sainsbury’s and co-op. The bus stop is almost outside the flat and their are tonnes of bus links all around. The only slight downside is it is quite a walk to any tube station so most the time it requires a bus to get their, but if it were any closer the rent would have been a lot more.

Well connected and close to Victoria Park, Stepney City Farm and Brick Lane. The roads were busy every night and as the room was at the front of the house we heard sirens from the hospital every night.

Good for travel (cycling distance to centre & Victoria Park) but one street adjacent to Mile End Road which is very busy and loud. There are 2 hospitals nearby so the sound of sirens is very common.

St John's Wood is a very nice area but couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO RENT THIS PROPERTY. DON'T LISTEN TO AGENTS WHO WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING TO ONLY RENT THIS FLAT AND GET THEIR FEES.

Nice area and very sweet neighbourhood. No complains in genera. The building is quite isolated from the city dwell, apart from the construction site that was banging on day and night.

Nice neighbourhood close to the river, although not a particularly friendly one, people keep to themselves.

Gorgeous area. We are staying in the area. Wandsworth is a gem. Green spaces. Grea shops, restaurants, coffee shops. Plenty to do. A 'young' vibe. Beautiful place - can't speak highly enough of it.

The area is cheap and has a lot of shops. It is fairly well connected considering the price and has a few nice pubs. Quite good for families. A few playgrounds and nurseries. But lots of odd people wandering the streets and a general “poor”/rundown feel. Go there and walk around and you’ll see what I mean instantly. Also if you’re not an arsenal fan, match days can be a pain! But all said it’s a good value for money area and I never felt unsafe there, unlike some other areas.

New Cross is ok. The property is situated on a busy crossroads with a pub over the road that plays loud music until midnight and beyond 4 nights of the week. No sound insulation in property makes this almost unmanageable.
