Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Calm and residential area. Bus station that could not be closer to the flat, very practical.

It's a big park in a 10 seconds of walk, Tesco Superstore is in 15 minutes of walking, Co-op is in 2 minutes. There is a bus stop of 5 and 4 route. Perfect for the University students.

On the surface rough around the edges, but we loved Ashley Road. So close to town and the pubs of Stokes Croft. Lots of characters in the area and a prime spot to enjoy St. Paul's carnival.

Short walking distances to both Tesco Superstore (two minutes) and the University (twenty minutes). The downside is that the neighbours can be quite loud at times.

Pretty but Very clique but that’s village life. Better off keeping yourself to yourself.

Next door neighbours were lovely! Doctors right opposite, close to schools and the town centre

The area the house was located in is the one redeeming point. Neighbours were lovely (although we did have the police at our door one time asking if we heard any domestics from next door). Amenities were close and we had the high street practically on our doorstep.

The area is cheap and has a lot of shops. It is fairly well connected considering the price and has a few nice pubs. Quite good for families. A few playgrounds and nurseries. But lots of odd people wandering the streets and a general “poor”/rundown feel. Go there and walk around and you’ll see what I mean instantly. Also if you’re not an arsenal fan, match days can be a pain! But all said it’s a good value for money area and I never felt unsafe there, unlike some other areas.

New Cross is ok. The property is situated on a busy crossroads with a pub over the road that plays loud music until midnight and beyond 4 nights of the week. No sound insulation in property makes this almost unmanageable.

The area is very calm, which we prefer as we do not particularly like the chaos of town centre.
