Hi Guys
I'm considering moving to London due to my work commitments, but where would you suggest I start looking for a place?
Having worked in London for nearly a year I realised the other day I still hardly know anything about the different areas, so where would you say was a nice part of London to live? ...and also where do I start looking for a property?!
Bear in mind i want my own place and I don't want to share with manky, drug-taking piss-heads who knick all your things!
ta!
Living in London
Lol, true I guess! I mean I don't want a flatshare or anything, I want my own flat.marksi wrote:But you've just ruled out everywhere in London.jay wrote:Bear in mind i want my own place and I don't want to share with manky, drug-taking piss-heads who knick all your things!
I realise the cost, unfortunately, but i don't have much choice!Jamez wrote:I think Mr Jay is either ridiculously rich or rather naive. You're not gonna get a 'nice' place in London all to yourself for under £700 a month + council tax, bills and what not.
Ever heard of commuting?jay wrote:I realise the cost, unfortunately, but i don't have much choice!Jamez wrote:I think Mr Jay is either ridiculously rich or rather naive. You're not gonna get a 'nice' place in London all to yourself for under £700 a month + council tax, bills and what not.

Yep, I've been doing it for the past year!Jamez wrote:Ever heard of commuting?jay wrote:I realise the cost, unfortunately, but i don't have much choice!Jamez wrote:I think Mr Jay is either ridiculously rich or rather naive.

Unfortunately commuting from my home town, where I've been over Christmas is £720 a month!
...and I've been dossing at my Grandparents on the Kent coast for the rest of the year, where it costs £340 a month - it just seems a bit stupid when it would be easier to find a place in London - depending on cost of course..

Not sure where you are living now, but, you'd be better off looking for a place outside London. Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and even Maidstone are quite popular areas for people commuting to London daily for work.
Mental anxiety, Mental breakdowns, Menstrual cramps, Menopause... Did you ever notice how all our problems begin with Men?
Well when I'm down in Kent I commute from Folkestone - which is on the same line as Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. The trouble is I'll only be able to afford doing one or the other at the minute - either having my own place OR commuting, until I get a pay-rise anyway!miss hellfire wrote:Not sure where you are living now, but, you'd be better off looking for a place outside London.
