I personally would like to live in the Camden Town/Kentish Town area in north London. It’s a very vibrant area with cool markets, great restaurants and pubs and only 15 minutes or so from Covent Garden by tube.

Cheap is a tough one and will take a fair amount of searching, but stay out of the centre of London and it is definitely possible.

it is hard to find cheap flats in london but it definatly has its benefits. Maybe you could buy just outside out london drive in.

Hi there,

There are good areas such as Mayfair, Kensington, Marylebone and Marble Arch where you would get good transportation facilities, required amenities and these areas are highly secure too.

These areas have seen something of revival in the past few years, with many new constructions of flats and apartments. You should conduct an accommodation search through real estate agents to facilitate your purchase. For example Plaza Estates – http://www.plazaestates.co.uk/properties-to-rent-in-marble-arch – can provide you complete information about rental flats in every area of the city and according to your budget as well.
