r/LondonHousing

North Kingston / Norbiton

Does anybody live in this area and can tell me what it's like to live there? I'm planning to potentially buy a 4-5 bed family home around there, but wondering what the commute is like to central London (Waterloo) if anybody takes the line. Also what the schools are like / what the vibe is like. I've visited a few times, but I think living there is different from just visiting of course!

Thank you :)

Are you comfortable with your rent to net pay ratio? Please include your numbers if you're comfortable with that!

Hi!

I am most likely moving to London and I am curious what is "normal" to pay in rent here. I would like a 2 bedroom but it seems like that could run £2500+ which would be more than 30% of my take home pay. What do you pay in rent/mortgage and are you comfortable with the amount you pay on your salary?

Morgan Road / Highbury & Islington area safety insights?

Hi everyone! I am looking at a property on Morgan Road (Tranmere House) and wanted to ask if anyone has local experience living around there, particularly as a woman.

I've looked at local crime and deprivation statistics which seem quite high, but I'd love to hear firsthand perspectives on what it's actually like day-to-day and walking around at night. Any insights would be hugely appreciated!
