So I found a flat near Finsbury Park, 5 mins away from the station, on Seven Sisters main road and it is exactly what I want. I went there twice for viewings during the day and it seems totally fine, maybe a bit run down but no different than Wapping or Dalston where I’ve spent lots of time as well. However, online I hear people saying the area is not safe.

I’m a tall guy and never had any problems in London but just want to get your thoughts. It seems very gentrified now, there’s a Gails, an M&S, a Gym box etc. The street itself seems busy but looks like local people just living there, very diverse and definitely quite a few people who may not be doing to well, but seemed no different than Dalston or Wapping.

The flat itself is 3rd floor and I couldn’t hear anything from outside, can’t even see the road as it has ceiling windows.

I love the connectivity, the value is great and tons of supermarkets and restaurants around. Just don’t wanna have to be scared to get mugged all the time! But it didn’t give me that impression

We are buying a share of freehold flat in that area

We’re a family of 4 moving to England, with two young children (3 and 5).
What would be the best place to live based mainly on safety, good education/schools and affordable rent for a 2-bedroom house?
We’re open to anywhere in England, not just London. Any recommendations? I heard about telford, but i’would like it ti be closer to london** **

.

I’ve been living in Canary Wharf for the last 2.5 years and I’m kind of sick of it honestly. It’s near to work but so boring and dead, also really far from where I want to hang out on the weekends.

I’m looking for a place to rent in central London, does anyone have any idea where would be somewhere fun/lively to be living in for the next 2 years or so (planning to move after)? I’d avoid Clapham.

For reference I’m 30F, on about 500K/year before tax so I’d pass most eligibility checks for rent.

Hi everyone,

I’m posting on behalf of a friend who has recently arrived in London to study at Queen Mary University of London.

She had arranged accommodation in advance through someone she was in contact with, but unfortunately the person backed out of the agreement at the last minute after she had already arrived in London. She is now urgently looking for somewhere to stay.

We’re looking for:

1. Room / flatshare / studio

2. Budget: up to £750/month

3. Preferably somewhere with easy access to Queen Mary University of London / Mile End

4. Areas a little further away are also fine if they have good public transport connectivity

5. Available immediately

6. Female-friendly accommodation preferred

7. Bills included would be a plus, but not essential

She is a responsible, clean and respectful tenant/student.

If anyone has a room available, is looking for a flatmate, has a tenancy takeover/sublet, or knows someone who might have something available, please DM me.

We’re happy to provide more details about her privately.

This is quite urgent as she has already arrived in London, so any genuine leads would be massively appreciated.

Thank you!
