Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Not a very good neighborhood. Didn't feel very safe at night, not much to do there either.

Good neighbourhood with everything on your doorstep. Half way between the high street and the common with a selection of shops nearby.

Such a good area to live in! We loved it, easy to get buses, trains, or walk into Richmond to get the tube. We loved living here but it is really expensive because it's so nice.

Local area was great. Nice and quiet - lovely gardens etc. Great neighbours. Lots of cool little shops and pubs with interesting evenings/theme nights.

2 Police anti-drug raids, and one murder, several petty crimes, hard drug use, constant noise, fairly clean, no direct trouble with neighbors, bowling green visible from window, central location, local amenities.

Lovely area, just a shame this agent is so terrible. Fortunately, I have spread details of their lack-of-service, and potential corruption, so they've lost numerous lettings and house sales in this and surrounding areas.

Nice area, no problems, neighbours mostly kept to themselves. No problems with burglary or anything, near to the centre of Longsight.

Crouch end is quite nice.

Pros
> good shops/cafes.
> nice for a walk
> good local library
> some good community activities
> green space near by
(all in all its a decent area to live)

> no tube connection and the busses are very hit and miss in the morning - be warned if you commute anyplace south, could be very awkward at 8am.

> For a relatively settled area there was quite a bit of crime. My neighbour had an armed burglary in which he was threatened with a weapon. I also seen some fights on the high street. Still as London goes I felt the immediate area was fine even if the surrounding neighbour hoods could be sketchy. I'd still recommend the area overall.

Neighbour hood was a little rough but I never felt unsafe, Very quiet considering. Although there is a building site over the road as I write this so it will be noisy during the day until it is done.

Bruntsfield is very gentrified and feels safe.
That being said it can be really noisy living directly in to the Main Street as there are lost of pubs and bars that close late.
