Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Western end of Kensington. Quiet, cobblestones. In the vicinity of a school and police station

20 minutes walk to either clapham north or clapham common. Good bus routes within a short walk. Small gym and local store within 5 minutes walk

The area was quiet. The flat was totally away from the road, so we didn't hear cars but the sound of the harbour often traveled up to us.

I rented a property in Stirchley. It's lovely. My only complaint is that the supermarket isn't very good.

Quiet and pleasant enough. Good access to the motorway and the train station. Only positive thing about it.

The property is close to the university but in regards to being close to many other things it is not. A walk to the supermarket takes around 25 minutes, there are no pubs or bars nearby and the nearest corner shop is very expensive so not even worth going to. There is no community feeling in the area and neighbours do not like any noise, even on weekends and often make complaints to the university or police.

Neighbouring area is rough.

Multiple stabbings and gang violence in the immediate.

Not safe to walk during the day let alone night.

Situated right in the centre of Peckham which is a very lively area. A few options for local shops, super close to the Peckhamplex and Peckham levels and Peckham-Rye train station.

Had a few noisy nights with living right on Rye Lane but otherwise a great area.

The local area was nice, I found it a bit of maze getting in and out of the estate when I first moved in. There were shops just a five minute walk away too. However I did have retired neighbours at the back of the house who used to hassle me regularly about the length of my grass, moan about other neighbours and their cats. I used to avoid them if possible - they were very nosey too!

The neighbourhood was very nice, we were a compact community of about 20 houses and everyone was friendly. There were local shops and a pub just down the road and I felt safe in the area. It was quiet and there were main transport links to where I worked.
