Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Local area was nice however this is unfortunately included in the score and unfortunately not nice enough to not want me to make a point about the agencies service.

Area was great. No problems. Lots of students and young professionals. Plenty of shops and things to do.

Our neighbours used to bypass the Letting Agent contacting the Landlady directly, over such things as a blade of grass being too high. The Letting Agent was also upset by this. Katherine Hill told us that it was difficult for Temple Hill to manage the property, due to the Landlady, who lives in New Zealand hearing "stories" from the neighbours. Owermoigne is great, but not at 8 Moreton Road. The oil tank leak of 6-7 years ago, which polluted the stream which runs through the Village, drives opinions of the property, and the Landlady.

Fine... A quiet Street on the edge of Peckham, I have no complaints regarding the location

Lovely area. Such beautiful walks and kind people, with a pub across the road and a wonderful stream outside the house.

Never had a problem myself, next door did get broken into during my first year there, neighbour opposite would often pull up in their car with music so loud you could feel vibrations throughout the house but no general area issues despite its bad reputation.

Mostly single people live in 8 bedsit flats. Issue is - it’s hard to maintain privacy as if you’re in the landing you can hear all what your neighbours are doing. Same applies if you are late night lover and want to nip out for a cigarette, you may well expect unhappy neighbour. Other than thin walls, no issue.

The flat was on a council estate, some of the neighbours were OK, but others refused to talk to you. On the whole the area was OK, although there was a little bit of crime in the area such as smashed Windows. The flat was across the road from a police station as well.

Area very close to Farringdon station - very quiet, especially on weekends. Exception is Thursday and Friday nights in summer as it is opposite a pub where people stand outside. Lots of restaurants and bars in the area, close to supermarkets also.

Area in 2009-2011 was ok, safety wise I'd be careful as it was dark and the street lights wasn't as bright. However, they're replacing them to these blue light giving LEDs in the streets.

Crime included a murder right at the end of the street teenagers killing in gang related warfare.
