Hi, my friend and I are making plans to move to London in October and we were looking for some advice on renting properties. Are there any pitfalls / things to look out for when dealing with agents or landlords?

As we are two single 25 year old we are looking for an exciting area to live in. Any ideas on where the best places to live in London are? Ideally in zone 2/3.

We would really appreciate some help and any advice that you could give.

Thanks!

Zone 2 I think Camden is pretty exciting (includes areas of Chalk Farm, Primrose Hill, Kentish Town, Hampstead, Swiss Cottage). The only massive downfall is finding out where to live, there are some parts which are very cheap but very tough to deal with if your not use to life on an estate, but then there are parts which are very nice and picture perfect but highly expensive. Ultimatley you should go for somewhere that sits in between like the appartments at "50 Holmes Road" (search the net for further info) what you will find is that the appartments are amazingly beautiful, the price is ok to rent or buy and the area is not too bad. Plus you are in walking distance of Hampstead Heath, Camden Canal, Camden High Street, Regents Park and Primrose Hill

Hello. I am fairly new to this forum.

I am an actor originally from the United States, but currently living and working in Madrid, Spain.

I have both US and EU citizenship and am bilingual in English and Spanish.

I am interested in moving to London within the next year and am beginning my research now.

I would need to find a fairly reasonable place to live and some other stuff.

Sharing a room in a flat or house or any other type of cost effective student housing would all be okay.

I plan on working as an actor and taking theatre classes.

I do not drink or form part of the rowdy nightlife, so any neighborhood with cheap housing and good access either by walking or metro will be fine. Maybe inside zone 1 or 2.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Actually my advice to you is to reside in the west end of London since it has some remarkable places to visit and It's located on the heart of London.
