gum tree is nigerian scammer central so just beware,anything that involves any kind of western union etc bank transaction is a deffinate scam,infact nearly everything I have ever tried to do on gumtree has resulted in somone trying to pull a scam,so I wouldnt even bother with it.

cheers seenmy, after searching on there it's become quite easy to tell what's real and what's fake, but yeah i'll take extra caution.

I don't know if it applies to London, but I've used globrix.com for my last move.
Once you've searched you can choose to view results in map format, and I just found that and the general ease of use to be the best I've come across.
And I think in my whole 3 months of searching I came across one scammer and it was ridiculous - he said the property could only be viewed from the outside and that he would only fly over to view it with me if I paid one months rent deposit in case 'I' was a fraud!
Good luck

Clapham is full of neo-Fulhamite young professionals who have no interests other than of continuing their University lifestyle of getting smashed at the weekend at generic chain bars.

Is that good or bad? I love several drinks and partying, but the yuppie chain bar bit turns me off it.

I don't really know Clapton that well, but I would consider living in Dalston or Stoke Newington which are about the same distance out and roughly the same in rent but have a lot more going for them. They say Dalston is the new Notting Hill after all.
