check stoke newington...
Its close to everything and you might get a flat for yourself for about £700- if you want to eat lesbian food everyday that's a great idea.skt

stoke newington's near fuck-all.
- aye, FB - tube-access is a must when you first move to London.detritus
- yeah, the Tube reigns supreme - I'l looking to be no more than a 10 minute walk from a station and 20 mins from the centerflashbender

i actually think London is awesome.
for living ... west London, and for going out... east London. You really should consider West Kensington. i heard if you have luck you can find super nice places. :-)

Old Street is close to everything, but be prepared to wade through piss/puke and kebabs every morning and parties till 6am.
Farringdon is a great location and pretty nice/quiet. Most likely will cost you a fucking fortune. Getting full of suits these days.

old street? man i have been there 2 weeks ago at lunchtime... there where quite some creepy people on the street... dont want to hang out there at night.

yeah i'd say look east - younger and cheaper. west is middle aged (like me) and more expensive
everyone wants to live near a tube station, so those places are always going to be more expensive than some wasteland where you are stuck with a train or bus...

An interesting thing to do in London is to take a walk through it on a Saturday night - sober.
I've never been so disgusted in my life. It's horrific. The people are horrific. Piss and vomit everywhere. Oddly you don't so notice it when you're drunk.

I have done it too skt.
The other weekend I went to visit a teetotal friend in Oxford. I didn't drink and got the coach back late and had to walk to Victoria.

So yeah. Go on. Live "central". Spend your nights laying awake at night while some prick stands out in the street going like "uuuuuuuuuuurrrggghh ya fuckin cunt uuuuurghgh ahhhhhhh" then pisses on your front door and leaves you a nice gift of spent fried chicken.
Lovely.

The best girl in the whole world, with whom I shall be co-habitating found us a brilliant flat in West Kensington. 5 minutes to the tube, 5 minutes to high street.
Now all I need is a plane ticket.
