Been reading this forum for awhile and it's been very useful. We currently live in Northampton and decided we'd love to move to London, as we spend most of our holidays there and love it. My other half applied for some jobs and got one almost instantly, which was fab, so we're now planning our move to London! Our rental contract runs out end July, so that's when we'll move.
We've asked friends for advise on where we should be looking to rent and they gave us some good ideas, but their knowledge has only got us a certain way - any more advise would be great.
Details of what we'd like:
- We want to spend up to £1000 a month
- Be within about 30 mins train/tube ride from Old St station in Shorditch (for his job)
- We need at least 2 bedrooms
- We have 3 cats, so a small garden/courtyard would be good, plus we'd like to live in an area where it's safe for them to go out.
- Fairly nice/safe area
- decent transport links so we can go into the heart of London at night
Ideas of areas:
- South Camberwell
- Walthamstow
- Tooting
- Greenwich
- Clapham South
- Finchley
- East Finchley
- Bow
What do you think about these areas or suggestions for any others? Any help is really much appreciated.
Thanks
