I am looking for people's views and advice on where in London is a great place to live. The story is this - I currently live in Essex (Fortunately I do not know anyone from TOWIE) and the girlfriend lives in Woodford, East London. We both have jobs in the City with her based in Great Portland Street and mine in the City and really want to both be working and living in London for the next year at least. This will only on a rental agreement so we are not tied down to one area for several years + affording to buy in London is a long way off. What we are ideally for is a great area for young professionals which has a cafe culture about it. We love our food and bars (like most 20-somethings) and the missus loves boutique shops and markets. We know areas like Greenwich and Notting Hill with both being at the top end of our budget for a 1 bed place and wondered if people had any other recommendations on where to maybe live for a year or so? We do not mind if it is North, East, South or West really as long as it has the culture we want and also good transport links.
Thanks for any advice people can pass on.
