Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

NW2 near Willesden Green tube. Excellent transport links with several options, lovely big parks (Gladstone Park about 15 mins away). Decent community though people can be rather closed. We never felt unsafe, though objectively Kilburn does have quite a high level of street violence. Series of sexual assaults in the park while we were living in the area.

St Peter’s is generally a nice area, however the property is located on a road very close to a busy Tescos so heavy traffic noise, lots of pollution, and refrigerated trucks parked on the road with engines running all night for the Tesco, queued up waiting to be ready to unload, and traffic noise at all hours as people visit Tescos. There is also a residential home for people with special needs so expect lots of screeching and screaming from that and their garden. It’s certainly not a ‘quiet’ property. Very inefficient heating and insulation so expect huge heating bills in winter.

Landlords also very deceptive, left garden maintenance equipment in all the photos of the shed, even on inventory however all were removed on moving in!

Noise nuisance have also had to be made due to the recent new neighbour next door who have been a nightmare, moved the toilet inside the property leaving a toilet vent pipe in the roof just metres away from an opening window of this property in the lounge so can’t open my window in summer without the smell of human sewage!

Landlord is known for visiting the property without notice (unlawful), and when they cannot get their own way make false police reports, which thankfully the police found nothing wrong and closed the matter and noted it so they ignore future reports.

Landlord also unlawfully removed my own padlock to secure the side gated access to the property leaving it vulnerable to burglary.

Very good. Friendly neighbours

The area is very nice, a quiet street within 100m of Morrisons, pubs and a corner shop. Within easy walk of bus stops and train stations, the house is ideally located. Being a mainly student street, it was unsurprising that there was a battle for parking spots. All of the neighbours were very friendly.

Redland is a very pleasant place to live.

Pretty village with kind and sympathetic neighbours who were a great support during our time at The Old Packhorse Inn Ampney St Peter.

Full of addicts, police and ambulance all the stime. Stabbing and thefts too

It is a quiet neighbourhood, not much happen.

It is becoming a rather popular area to live, more buildings are being constructed. Very quiet area.

Close to university.
