Where abouts in London are you living?

philologos

I've been wondering this for a while, and it comes up as a matter of discussion at the London beers quite frequently.

Where abouts in London does everyone live?

Personally I live in Ilford in the east.

Myself I live in Twickenham. Its not so bad the planes can be a bit annoying but its a nice area lots of parks.

Living in Leytonstone - east end, but as near to the centre as I want to be.

East London, Leytonstone. Twenty minutes from Liverpool Street and on the central line. Handy out.

I stay in London intermittently, and in various places, but usually north or north-east London because I prefer those areas.

East London - Royal Docks by the ExCel centre. Nice spot, planes from LCY can be annoying but you get used to it after a while.

Nice and close to work (10-12mins) and Stratford (10mins

I'm in Beckenham, Kent, southeast of London - a bit further out than most but I can still be at Victoria, Charing Cross, London Bridge or Cannon Street train stations within 30 minutes of stepping out my front door so it's very handy. I also have a secure off-street parking space for my car, which would be hard to get further in.

Clapham.

Walking distance to central London.

F*ck yeah.

Limehouse - East London. Pretty central and I can walk to work which is handy. Area is pretty quite though.

To be honest...so am I, and I'm living east!

Alright fine I live in Harlesden. Not as bad as it's made out to be and very easy to get to practically anywhere else in the city.

I'm not that surprised. The east is probably on the cheaper end in terms of rents?

East is just awesummmmm!!

Oh the rent is cheaper alright, I’m just surprised that there are more east end boardsies than I realised.

cheap rent is good, i'm viewing (hopefully) nice 2 bed house this evening that's advertised at £950pm

there's no shortage or irish living east, most of the players (male and female teams) in our gaa club would be based in the triangular area between stratford, wanstead and romford from what i can gather. sure in the last week alone, i've noticed a D and KE reg move into our apartment block - obviously they're not necessarily boardsies

I know it's cheaper, I just hadn't got the impression from the boards meetups that there were so many out that direction

im in uxbridge and love it ,good place really freindly here also:)

Living South East right now, near enough to Greenwich, though I was living in SW for a good while. I love it. It's really nice around here (especially Greenwich itself) and so handy for central too, but still very quiet and villagey.

South west .. Between Balham and Streatham just along the edge of tooting common. Settled in the area for about 5 years now so dont see myself moving until I need more space for a family. Balham and Clapham are great for eating and drinking... I hate to travel at the weekends so its important to have some entertainment on my doorstep!

Living in Brixton at the minute but thinking of moving to Dulwich. Have previously lived in Leyton, Clapham and Forest Hill.

Living in the North (Crouch Hill) halfway between Archway and Finsbury Park which gives plenty of commuting options. Very happy with the area, the further you walk away from Finsbury Park station the nicer it gets

Just moved in by Twickenham green last weekend. Liking the area so far but haven't seen too much of it yet.

Spitalfields, don't understand whole Clapham thing... it's fine but completely overpriced and underwhelming, for same price I can walk to work, have better nightlife and be better connected.
