Kind of off topic but my rents are thinking of moving, currently live in Finsbury park, thinking of bloomsbury/fitzrovia kind of area (yes it's a hell of a step up
). If you had decent money and were middle aged / coming on retirement age where would you most like to live in London?

San - look at members clubs with rooms if you go for the hotel option. You'll get reduced rates and if you know you'll need the room Mon - Thurs for 6 months I'm sure you could arrange a great deal.

Ive gotta defend my home town, no way is it the 5th WORST ON THE PLANET!
Though the cunt giving West & Bantock Parks as reasons to come is a grade a twat
That first road pic is the start of the dual carriageway onto willenhall rd that leads you into horseley fields, which is a prossie area near the town centre. got offered anal for a fiver who had a sign drawn up once
My area is proper middle/upper middle class though we have some proper ghetto ends like heath town, park village & whitmore reans.
5th Worst

Sorry mate not really comfortable throwing out big sums of money on the net like that, really I'm interested in where people would like to live, money is not such an issue (no baller)
They want to move to a nicer area with good transport and a nice vibe but feel a bit old for the whole east scene and think (and I agree) that Hampstead is a bit boring and overpriced (though very nice, I went to school just over the hill)

good transport to where? does anyone on here know you, if not, why not mention the budget? what are they into? flat ot house? nr the river?
there are lots of good places to live but you're not helping!

House or large flat, they're buying not renting btw, EVERS I suppose 1-2mili more at a push. Near the river would be nice but seems like you pay a big extra for the ability to see a little bit of brown water. Transport links to central london if not already in central london and easy links to farringdon for work and liverpool street/kings x for overground rail. Green space a plus but not a neccessity, general atmosphere I think important, into all sorts but not exactly out til 4am clubbing.

And yes some on here do know me, but that's not really the reason, just feels a bit vulgar/like boasting to chat big sums of money
