1968 Moving to London
(So apparently I'm stupid and this belongs in /map/)

Hi lads,

I need to move to London in about a month, and I really don't know what the characteristics of different bits of it are. I've compiled a list of possible places to live (I want somewhere on the Jubilee line close to Green Park). Ideally I'd like somewhere non-rough and quiet. Please will you give me your thoughts on each of them?

- West Hampstead
- London Bridge
- Canada Water
- Canary Wharf

Also, if you know of other places that might be suitable for me, please post them.

It doesn't really. This board is mostly about circlejerking and to keep the incessant "Any one else from X lurk here?!?" posts confined to one place, something the /b/ monkeys who directed you here obviously failed to understand. Carry on in /b/, it's the perfect place for this.

None of those places are very close to Green Park. I mean, Canada Water and Canary Wharf are a while away on the tube, and anyway the prices around their are inflated by the Docklands gentrification and the Canary Wharf thing.

You can live in those places if you are a millionaire.
Especially near Green Park you're looking at £600pw for a 1 bedroom mini-prison.

London has TUBES though so living near to work is not that important. I'd just look in Zones 2 and 3 in general along the tube lines you intend to use.

A friend of mine lives in Canada Water sharing a good size house (including large open plan kitchen and a small garden) with three other people paying around £800pcm plus bills, so it doesn't have to be that horrendously expensive.

That said, though, you're completely spot on about not living near work, especially if work happens to be quite central. What does help though is living on the tube line that takes you to work; not having to change is a god send.
