Renting in central London, which areas?
Discussion
Hi all,
I am looking at relocating and working in central London, at the minute I am based in South Yorkshire and don't know a great deal about the areas in central London, so I am hoping some of you Londoners can help out. I have been looking on rightmove and there are so many different areas! I am looking for a 1 bedroom flat with a small commute to Oxford Street, what would be some good areas to look into with easy access? I would be looking to spend roughly £1000-1500 pcm.
Thanks for any help.

This one's on Harley Street:

I bet they'd take £1.5k pcm....

I wouldn't recommend Clapham
It's a good 25 mins on the tube to Tottenham Court Road, but the main issue is that getting on the tube at Clapham Common in the morning is a nightmare (it seems to be where the new graduates go to live)
It's also overpriced IMO
You should look at:
- Camden (NW1) - West side is better towards Parkway
- Chalk Farm (NW1 / NW3)
- Belsize Park (NW3)
- NoHo (North of Soho) also known as Fitzrovia (W1)
- Marylebone (W1)
- Bloomsbury (WC1)
- Holborn (WC2)
- Clerkenwell (EC1) - basically border between West End and City

Travelling in London is generally a nightmare, so you've got the right idea with a short commute. I would only look at places that are a direct commute, i.e. no need to change tube/bus/train.I am looking at relocating and working in central London, at the minute I am based in South Yorkshire and don't know a great deal about the areas in central London, so I am hoping some of you Londoners can help out.

We delivered a kitchen to a flat in Mayfair recently. My driver's mate was finishing up the paperwork with the customer, so I rolled a fag and went to look in the window of a letting agent on the corner. Most of the flats for rent were in the £500 to £800 a week bracket, which shocked me, but I thought was probably average for London. One property in particular stood out though - a 4 bed king sweet jesus mother of lord....yours for a mere £2350 a week.
