Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

Lovely neighbourhood. Tube is close by and the park as well.
The Mayflower is 3 minutes walking.

Leytonstone is largely residential, so it feels like a safe area. The amenities aren't great but it's easy to get to Stratford, which is a much livelier area. Transport links are in the form of buses, which only really go to a few places, and the Central line on the tube. There aren't many local restaurants or cafés and supermarkets are sparse.

Between Peckham, Camberwell and elephant and castle. Not the best transport links but a quick bus to E&C. Loads of really good shops and restaurants nearby and just below Burgess park.

The area is nice and safe, close to shops and to Victoria Park. However, the property is very close to the train rails and a busy road and it is difficult to sleep at night because of the noises.

some shops around like Lidl, but neighbourhood was not safe to walk around a gang of men were on the doorsteps every night from 9pm until 6am, taking drugs and drinking - police never resolved it when called, only moved them a few steps away

good buses and tube nearby, gym 2mins away

very smelly hallway leading to the flat

The area is not the best and most clean, but at the time it was a good option as it was very affordable and life there was cheap.

Not the nicest opr cleanest of areas, but it is cheap and very affordable to live in.

The flats themselves are lovely, and because they are gated off they prove to be a bit of an oasis from Stepney Green, which whilst I never felt it was dangerous, is just a bit grim, with a lot of very utilitarian flats around. That being said there are a few decent pubs and such around, and Stepney Green park is very nearby. If you have a car, trying to get parking will be an abysmal experience - the flat is a 'car free proeprty' so you cannot get a parking permit.

Crime ridden, sorry to inform. My house was burgled three times over 9 years. I kept on living because of close proximity to my workplace.

Often felt unsafe in the surrounding area, particularly along Shepherds Bush Green at night
