How familiar are you with London? I've lived everywhere apart from South, and much prefer over Ladbroke Grove in the West where I am now to the rest. I like over Hackney way, enjoyed living there, but there's more than just East to consider - although it is handier for Goldsmiths. Consider all your options and have a good look around, see where feels most comfortable. Good luck with it all.
I'm fairly familiar, but I'm kinda stuck at least along the Eastern Line so I can get to and from school.
