Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Less than 5 minute walk to m&s and aldi and a 7 minute walk to south street so relatively close to town. A few minutes away from the post office and shell petrol station

Close to the Cromwell shop and bus stop, five/ten minute walk to main campus, even longer to west downs, and close to town. Lovely neighborhood and neighbors. Plus there’s a backyard.

Decent area. Good walking distance from town Good links to major roads. Quiet neighbourhood.

Nightclub next door. Smoking area right outside bedroom window. Very close to a Tesco and a quick walk to the Riverside and the train station.

On the other side of town to the University, however there is a Park and Ride down the road which can be used to navigate the hill. The walk is not very long, roughly 20 minutes at a fast pace.

The house is close to town, which is roughly a 10 minute walk near the river or Cathedral at an average pace. There are a few places to get food shopping in town (Sainsbury's, Iceland, M&S). If essentials are needed, then there is a 24 hour petrol station a 2 minute walk from the house.

The house is surrounded by other student houses and flats, although there are normal residents nearby too.

Lower Stanmore, close to the Cromwell Road shop. Perfect for students, only 10 minute walk to Main Campus. Perfect for students.

Other than Gloucester Quays the area was awful. The local car parks were dirty and you felt uncomfortable to walk through them in the dark on you own the local people were unpleasant.
All in all I regret renting with this company and in this area.

Local area is nice, transport to the university is ideal and there are good bus links to town

The only good things about the property were that it was within walking distance to the university, had a close bus link to the town centre and was a two minute walk from the local Onestop. The neighbours were horrible. They would report us to Liz for the most minor of things these include;
Having a BBQ
Watching a film to loud
Moving a bed
Coming home from the student union past ten o’clock at night
Play on the Xbox too loud
Having a household dinner
Smoking in the backgarden
Watching the season finally of Peaky Blinders at 8:30
And various others. Yet they are more than will doing to do housework at 7am on a Sunday morning and think nothing off it. Break government imposed lockdown, multiple times to have parties and withholding parcels.

Friendly and safe neighbours nothing to fault about the neighbourhood fellow students nearby
