Question I'm moving out of town (London area).

Hello comrads, I need your help!

One is planning of starting a fresh, preferably in the London area, however daunting the prospect may be. Trouble I'm faced with is I don't know london, and I need the cheapest place to live, preff' one of those old Victorian buildings converted into cheap bedsit type accomadation, (tries not to though up ), untill I'm established and can afford to get a flat then house blah blah.

I need some ideas..

Get a job lined up before you go.

Then just look at the room to let notices in the local papers.

hehe. there are a lot of places to avoid.

if u like your clubbing/going out, share a house with 5 others in shoreditch.

best look in the papers and stay with a mate in london til you find somewhere.

one of my friends lives in a shared house, renting a double room. 650 a month.

i'm paying 850 a month for a 1 bed flat in angel.

If you want cheap, south london's the place. Peckham/Walworth/Elephant & castle/Bermondsey... not yet gentrified or properly trendy (unlike Shoreditch or or Hackney) but still close to town (Zone 1/2 travel).

People will say they're ****eholes, which is true in parts. That's London.

Or you can go for somewhere with more/ less violent nightlife... Hackney, Shoreditch, Islington if you're rich... but it'll cost you. Depends what you're after really.

Docklands is a great place to live, but lacks culture. If you do not mind communting have a look there.

I too visit Angel everyday-great spot of London.

And where do you live?

Londons basically the only good city in the UK on a world scale. Everything else compared to it is quite frankly a bit poo.

And especially non london wages.

Actually I think I agree with that. Most countries (in Europe at least) only have one global city though, if any.
