Buying/Renting property in London: Where would you live?

I know Gloucester Road well after living in Bath for 10 years. I guess Camden is pretty close in terms of feel and it's not all metal. If you live in Camden it's pretty easy to get to Islington too. I live in Archway, because I prefer not to be right in the thick of it, but within easy reach. Good luck with the flat hunt!

thats good to hear camden sounded cool. is shoreditch to cool for school? (utterly hipsterfied) hiphop in chelsea? really?

Don't move to Streatham...

On no account should you consider south London, it's totally metal.

ha^^^ snap

I did a search on here is east really the place to be?

hiphop is in chelsea and kensington.

Or this^. (It's Hip-Hop, but not really Gangsta enough).

Islington on other hand.

@psykx

Have you got any children?

'I might get the chance to work a cool job in central london (kinda islington)'

Sounds like an unpaid 'internship' ... hope not for your sake ...

haha just watched this.

it's a cool job for a highly skilled techy so it's well paid, and by cool I really mean music related. No I've got no kids, I'm 25 and single. and male.. I'm not really ganster either more soul breaks and electro I just don't want to be in a overly metal area.

north kensington

Come to Clapton then. You'll $ave in rent so you can replace your (stolen) bike every fortnight. ;D

Lovely apart from thuggery.

Somewhere in south London, yesterday...

Missing the "N"

I just don't want to be in a overly metal area.

Stay away from Golders Green. And Silvertown.

On reflection, I recommend you live in Purley.

Sheen...

Or maybe Penge...

Wales.

Yeah Camden and Kentish Town are cool.
If the postcode begins with N then mostly you can't go wrong unless it is N17

Wales.

That bad huh? I would love to live in north wales with the mountains, but I love music and being able to afford food so working in cities wins for the time being.

I have briefly stayed in Stoke Newington, Borough and Shoreditch. All pretty good and convenient ! IMO.

Skully and Teenslain both getting rep!

N16 (Stokey) is great, but ridiculously overpriced for what you normally get.
