Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Nice area with interesting and unique shops and restaurants. It is an expensive, upmarket kind of place, so not a lot of choice on the cheap and cheerful front.

Nice area of 7 sisters, near Bruce grove. Quiet residential street. Nice neighbours.

The area was a very student populated area, near the Bath Spa accommodation and not far from town. It was because of this that you think your getting a good deal for your money. However, once you live in the house and have to deal with the landlord that you realise it is not a nice house to live in or a good landlord to have to deal with.

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.
