Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The area is very safe and close to other students however it is in-between spring hill and conduit so there is no escaping the long walk home. The shops are just over 5 minutes away which is a little long but generally in a good location.

Very studenty area which is nice, bus stop just around the corner and plenty of pubs, shops etc. Within walking distance of the town centre.

I personally loved living there. The house is by a busy road, but the windows are good and block most of the noise. I was lucky and could see both - the sun rise and sun set from my bedroom windows! Really good transport links just few mins walk away, same with local shops and cafes.

Local area is ok but a little boring as there isn't much in the way of shops, &c. It seemed like a relatively safe neighbourhood but eerily quiet.

We had a couple of strange housemates but this is the thing you will never know in advance. People can change quickly within a short time. As we are easy going people we didn't have any problems with them.

Good location, right by the Aldi supermarket which is ideal for shopping as a student. There are lots of restaurants nearby and good walking distances of both universities. Seems a relatively safe area although there are some incidents, this is a city though.

For me the local area was unpleasant although as mentioned the long term neighbours were lovely. Really pleasant people. There was a lot of movement among neighbours but that is to be expected in London. It is on a long road with several late night corner stores. It is reasonably near to a late night Tesco superstore. As mentioned bus stop opposite and overground train station a ten minute (at most) walk. I cycle and the cycling was horrendous. The roads and infrastructure are poorly maintained, large potholes, and dangerous driving.

Area was close to city centre, anyone can jump from the backyards and also most of Ex tenants has keys that they can come in.

I actually like the neibourhood, it's the only reason I held on as long as I did. Close to absolutely everything.

Good links with uni and buses etc but a bit loud if you live at the front of the house.
