If you could live ANYWHERE in London where would it be?

My boyfriend and I are looking to buy a place to live in London but we have very different tastes - he's more of a Chelsea man and I'm more of a Shoreditch woman.

We only need a one bedroom place and have a budget of 550k so London is our oyster if only we can make a decision.

He likes things to be organised and not too grotty and is addicted to running so needs somewhere with a park or open space. I like more creativity and spontaneity in my life. Loved it when I was living in Brixton - you never knew what you were going to see each day. We're currently living near Sloane Square and, although it is very beautiful, I have never known such a soulless existence!

I'd love one of the amazing houses around Regent's Park... I love the park, it's so close to the West End and still feels quite quiet. Alternatively I wouldn't say no to somewhere around Hampstead Heath, although the volume of traffic around Hampstead generally is a bit disappointing. If someone could make it a private road, that would be ideal ;)

I reckon Camden/Primrose Hill area could work for both of you.. has lovely open spaces, potentially the poshness of Chelsea but also a vibrancy and arts scene akin to Shoreditch.

Thanks for your thoughtful answers. I will check out Primrose Hill and East Dulwich!

Any more suggestions are very welcome.

The Docklands areas are booming with new housing and business popping up all over the place. So it would be a good place to live.
