FINDING A HOME IN LONDON

Housing is highly in demand in the city. There are thousands of people who live in the city and thousands more who don’t but work in it. This puts the price for living accommodation at a premium if you decide that you really must make your home here. If you are used to owning a house, you may want to consider living outside the city. On the other hand, you may simply choose to rent a flat which is more readily available in the city.

CHOOSING WHERE TO LIVE IN LONDON

London is split into general areas – Central, North, East, West, South East and South West London. The rent is usually higher in the central area of the city in comparison with the other areas.

London is a city that is actually made up of towns or suburbs. These towns got eaten up as the city expanded and generically became known as London but maintained their identity. Examples of boroughs are Richmond, Greenwich and Camden.

There are 580 towns in London. The most popular areas for flats are in Islington and Clapham but there are always great flats in each town. It is better if you decide where you will stay based on its proximity or travel time from where you will be working or studying.
