Hi guys. Looks like I will be moving to London for a year this coming September due to work commitments. Anyone could suggest decent areas to rent, safe for children and not having to travel a whole day to get to work?
Battersea is a nice area, most parts anyhow. London is strange you can get a right mixture of good and bad very close to each other
That's where I was where I was going to suggest, specifically Northcote Road (aka Nappy Valley)
I used to live in Clapham, Camberwell and Battersea, as said above the bad is very close to the good so make sure you do your research.
The area around Abbeville Road in Clapham is also very nice and not too far to King's Hospital. Map Kings Avenue is the dividing line between Clapham and Brixton. Don't consider anywhere East of this road! West is nice though, used to live on Clarence Avenue.
East Dulwich is also a nice area, a short commute too.
I can't recommend Camberwell, although parts of it are quite nice, just too close to some really **** areas. Avoid Peckham, South Bermondsey, New Cross, Brixton & Stockwell like the plague!
You could always go further out to the suburbs, these are again a bit of a minefield...
What has been said i know very little of but having traveled traveled from Rickmansworth on the tube to Elephant and castle and then through camberwell etc etc 10 min bus ride to kings college hospital. I have no idea what rents are like in a good part that your looking for but would imagine its got to be around a minimum of £1,500 -£2,000 a month for a 3 bed house.
I live in Rickmansworth it's only 30 mins into london on the fast Diesel. On the (metropolitan line) about 1hr 15 min commute to the hospital.Not bad when you consider we are in the sticks.Lots of lakes here and 3 rivers. I regularly did the journey over a 2 year period.It's a very good area here N/W london and not a minefield at all.Ricky has been called according to the Financial times as one of london's most desirable commuter towns along with Cookham in Berkshire,Loughton and Shenfield in Essex and Locksbottom in Bromley.Thats was a quote from the newspaper. Ricky to baker street is only 25mins on the fast train then catch the Bakerloo line to Elephant and castle.then bus ride to the hospital. You could always rent on Harrow on The Hill on top of Harrow School very nice, again metropolitan line.Hatch end,Pinner all expensive but nice areas.All along the metro line. As i right this you could say the Metropolitan line runs out to some of the best Suburbs and expensive but not as bad as more central. More central Twickenham and Teddington very very very nice areas,used to live there but my father couldn't afford a 3 bed terrace house there at 26,000 back in 1975 so we moved to Harrow at half the price.The 3 bed terrace in twickenham now would be 1,000000.00 yes 1 million now. Ridiculous rise. Use this information as you will and good luck and let us know where you do go for.
No,i just went there regularly for dental treatment.It's very very slow the treatment as you being worked on by undergrads overwatched by the professors but it's free and the work done there is second to none.Towards the end i sometimes went 3 times a week.
