Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Local area is close to the beach and uni, few parks and plenty of small supermarkets and takeaways. Only good thing about living here.

Local shopping centre, convenience store just 1 minute away. Neighbours seems to trade in cars from the street so parking isn't always easy. On a bus route, can be a bad thing as bus passes the house every 5 minutes in the daytime and run 6:30am-11pm.

Attractive tree-lined area of the city and an easy 10-minute walk into town to shops/bus/train. There is not much in the way of shops immediately nearby but they are only 10 minutes away, and parks are only a 5 min walk away.

Student area, not the best but safe, and close to both universities and town center. Bus links relatively close.

I will at least say the area is good. It's near the train station and a little away from the bustle of Finnieston, but still close to things.

Good neighborhood if you had a car, very quiet and pretty, but far from transport/shops.

Neighbourhood is great as is location. Really close to public transport and shops. Very handy.

Landlord claims 5 min walk to Balham tube but even as long-legged fast walker it was near 10. Bus handy for Streatham/Balham, plenty shops on Balham high road. Feel safe walking home at night. Area is expensive, but cheaper than Clapham or nearer high road, location is officially Tooting and access to common is easy (no view of it from flat), few minutes walk down street.

Nice neighbourhood. Quiet. Neighbours friendly. Good local shops and pubs nearby. Central.

The area itself was nice, close to a supermarket, bus stops etc.
We do think we were broken into early in the tenancy but the police were informed.
