Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

It was close to shops and the tube was across the road. Luckily the road itself was very quiet. Very handy for getting into the city where I work. Stepney Green is very nearby too.

A brilliant community with close access to a variety of different shops and not too far from the university. Bus routes very close by but a steep hill to climb from the city centre.

Could have been a bit closer to town, otherwise perfect, friendly neighbours, people in building generally got along well although some like to play loud music way too late.

Nice area, quiet but close to main town so easy to get to classes and lectures for university.

So close to everything. For St Andrews you have everything that you could want from this house. Private parking spot, access to Lade Braes path, off of South Street but still very private, your own garden. Quiet local neighbors and the bus station 5 minute walk away. Everything is accessible by foot.

Typical student area. Messy, noisy, but with decent amenities and close by the important things (university, convienience stores, offies, supermarkets etc).

Grand. Wasn't really an issue because I chose to live there and knew what it was like beforehand

Although there isn't much in the immediate area, there are new, exciting places opening quite often including directly on the development. Vauxhall is a 10 minute walk away and I cycle everywhere when the weather is good - Soho in less than 30 mins, Battersea in 10, Brixton in 15.

Nice area with lots of shops and cafes nearby. Lots of pubs and restaurants. Good public transport.

Property is close to small shops (inc. Tesco express). It is also close to a school which means it is a relatively safe area compared to the rets of Portswood. It is a bit far from University of Southampton but public transport is easily accessible with bus stops down the road.
