Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Neighbours to the left and right are really lovely people, but the ones above often play music all night on weekday which became wearing.

Transport links are ok. Bit busy around school time and 5pm office workers home time. Few police incidents

Very nice walk around, by the Docks, close to asda and local shops, can be too quiet for some people!

Quiet, full of old people, great transport links. You have to get lucky with neighbours who will interact with you.

The neighbors used to be a grow house (weed) but they got busted and now a family of about 7 Romanians live there. It's also opposite a youth centre so kids tend to hang about.

Lovely community spirit with only one unbearable neighbour out of the many who live within this close knit community

Good local area - close to tube stations and good shops/supermarkets nearby. Quite a noisy road.

Fairly isolated, no cafes, shops, or culture as such. Bus stop directly outside and short cab ride to Brixton or Balham tube station. Nice and quiet location.

I love the area, but find a different place to live in it. I would happily move in next door, just so long as I can warn every new tenant to get out without paying their last 2 months of rent.

Ok area, a bit rough but charming. Bus stop nearby, with a train station 30 minute walk away, at the university. 5 minute walk to a Spar, but there was a corner shop 100m away. I tended to walk to Aldi, 20 minuets away. Behind us was the River Irwell and the flood plain was nice for walking. We were located just outside the Manchester eruv. The area was described to us as "safe, but come on, it's still Manchester."
