Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

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.

Walking distance to Clapham Common and Battersea Park. Great local shops and transport links.

Nice area of 7 sisters, near Bruce grove. Quiet residential street. Nice neighbours.

The neighbourhood is nice and quiet. Lots of gardens, and open spaces. Close to the O2. However, not a lot of shops and restaurants in the area and the transport links are bad.

Amazing food options, great nightlight and overall very convenient. 5 minute walk away from oxford circus. However we were burgled into, so safety is a concern.

Nice area but can be dangerous at night. Parking is impossible in the area and restaurant and bar choices are minimal

Quiet neighbourhood most of the time. Neighbours were nice. Some damage caused to my car from a reckless driver in the area

convienient for local shops but surrounding area is quite dirty and full of drug dealers
