I lived in Highgate for a while. Nice. But I actually preferred sarf of the river, Brixton and Clapham North.
I'd recommend spending the day on the northern line. Get off at each stop and take a stroll. Pop into a few estate agents.
Don't go east, its shit.

I could say that Bethnal Green is a great area.
But this would be blatant lying- Aww hey now I have nothing but fond memories of my time in Bethnal Green just down the road from the Florist pub.. good timesKidswift
- I have fond memories of living on BG road. Of course, those memories lie.max_prophet
- not so fond memories of living on cambridge heath road.max_prophet
- yeah - steer clear of Hackney road and bethnal green road - or at least living right on the main road - its fkn noisy at night in the summer with windows open - more than fine on a side street thogpop

You need to state budget, it's all very well saying hampstead, chalk farm and primrose hill, but those are some of the most expensive places outside of zone 1.
Tufnell Park is nice and more affordable, alothough it was getting more expensive and people were getting 'shoed' up into archway, which is a bit shit.

ive got a flat in west hampstead. 5 min walk to the tube. along the high street and near a couple grocery stores. its a 15 minute tube ride into the west end depending on how the TFL is behaving that day.

north is nicer than south by far. currently livng south and miss north loads... was up in belisize park today which is nice, or i typically fancy Angel for the pubs, and the snappy snaps so I can get my pics developed.
- err... I'm in Crystal Palace at the mo - really nice round there and also close to Dulwich which is awesome. Plus its only 20 mins to victoria / London Bridge. Cheap too! Id stay but i work east so moving that way...gpop

I live right on boarder of Primrose hill and Chalk farm pros: close to Primrose hill, close to great bars, close to hampstead heath, close to camden but far enough away that its not complete sell out punks and puke on the footpath skoodsville, 15min ride into west end, close to Regents park and Hyde park, not right in Primrose hill or Belsize so I can afford to keep both my kidneys and eat.... cons not many great farmers mkts around but otherwise best place I have lived north of the river

I'm moving down in the very near future & currently looking for flats to rent. I'm looking for pro's cons of different areas in London.
I want to be fairly central and north of the river.
Any advice / past experiences would be useful, thanks.
