Perfect Property Locations in London

Posted by homehouseestates on February 14th, 2014

Whether you are a young professional looking to start a career in the capital, a new family looking to settle down in a good city, or a businessman on a long-term corporate trip, you will enjoy London. However, deciding where to stay in the city can be a real challenge, especially if you are not familiar with the prime areas. That is why it’s always a good idea to hire real estate agents who specialize in London.

The city offers countless real properties and living quarters to suit different budgets and lifestyle. It is made up of trendy little villages, each with its own unique flair and set of characters you can easily learn to love. And while it’s true that life in London can be expensive, it doesn’t always have to be. There are plenty of options for every budget within the city limits if you know where to look.

If you have a particularly small budget, you might want to avoid central neighbourhoods, which are also stomping grounds for most tourists. This includes zone 1 neighbourhoods like Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, and Westminster. Instead, go for quieter, less tourist-frequented zones surrounding downtown, where you can still have good access to everything that central London has to offer. Here are some excellent zone 2 and zone 3 neighbourhoods you can consider:

Clapham

Located south of the Thames, this diverse neighbourhood attracts many young professionals, thanks to its vibrant High Street, which also offers convenient transport links. From here, you can easily access Clapham Junction, which is also England's busiest rail station.

Putney
Located in Southwest London just by the riverbanks, this charming district is a good place for families who want to live in a quiet neighbourhood, far from the hustle and bustle of the city lifestyle. It may lack good tube service, but it is a great place to enjoy the peace and privacy.

Camden Town
Located north of London, this gritty, tenacious, and historically rich town is a convenient place to live in London for anyone who wants to be close to some of London’s best pubs, music venues, and street markets.

Wimbledon
Famous not only because of its tennis reference, Wimbledon is a mix of lively communities and neighbourhoods, parklands, and convenient transport links.

Shepherd's Bush
This multicultural district offers a wide range of affordable living options, ideally located in West London, with easy access to downtown and Central London.
