Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The neighbourhood is nice and quiet. Lots of gardens, and open spaces. Close to the O2. However, not a lot of shops and restaurants in the area and the transport links are bad.

Amazing food options, great nightlight and overall very convenient. 5 minute walk away from oxford circus. However we were burgled into, so safety is a concern.

Just over the road from main arts. Centre of upper bangor. Nice to have students all around

Nice area but can be dangerous at night. Parking is impossible in the area and restaurant and bar choices are minimal

Neighbourhood was fine but not the safest and the agency left our fence hanging off for ages after a storm.

Since there is no washing facilities the frith site is on the door step and it only a 10 -15 min walk from the uni.

House was close to all mainstream shops (Asda, Lidl etc) and about 5-10 minutes from the high street. It would only take us 5 minutes to walk to university buildings such as Brambell, Thoday and Memorial. The street could get very noisy at night, especially on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Drunk students would bang on the lounge windows or front door at times. People would regularly use our recycling bins to throw their rubbish in too. The alleyway in between our house and the barbershop was usually filthy and attracted drunk people. However, we never really had an issue with the noise personally and we rarely went into the alleyway except when we were putting the bins out for collection.

Area was good and was just behind the gym of Ffriddoedd village Halls. Ideal location for those going to Normal Site to study and those that prefer to be in Upper Bangor.

There is a pub nearby, sometimes music is too loud and too many drunk people shouting outside at night. Flat is near very busy street and buses are going just a few meters from window, it can be quite loud

If you are Coventry University student, the area is good just because it is close. Other than that, it is pretty filthy, there are a lot of wild mice and rats living nearby, you can see them every day in the bushes.
