Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Great area, great location. Loads of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs.

The area was next to the city centre so not bad

Decent area with good access to public transport and direct access to the city centre.

Poor, dirty, doesn’t feel safe and have been serious incidents happen in the area, graffiti everywhere, not a very friendly or welcoming place.

Area was horrid parking always a problem. Neighbours awful always playing loud music and smoking pot.

Far away from city centre

I thoroughly enjoyed living in Brighton for 3 years while at university. It feels unlike anywhere else in the country, like its own little bubble full of eccentric people, art in the streets and generally more acceptance and tolerance than anywhere else in the UK. The downside of Brighton is the problems of homelessness and drug use which are very apparent in central Brighton. The seemingly unchecked exponential rise in drug dealers in Brighton will surely increase violent crime, which is a huge shame in such an otherwise idyllic place. There is also a huge wealth gap in Brighton, with areas such as Withdean and Dyke Road having huge mansions and supercars, while areas such as Whitehawk and Bevendean have very deprived residents often with generations of low socioeconomic status.

Arsenal is a great area in London. Well connected, near the Piccadilly Line. Lots of cafes, restaurants and parks

Oh my God no. If you have the option, steer clear. If you don't have the option, go for the only block of flats available with electronic locks and a gated car park.

Quiet , not far from Picadilly
