Living in that London

[Redder Lurtz]

Although I'm based in t'Yorkshire my employer is London based. There's a chance I may be asked if I'd move down there to work on some other accounts.

 

I know my way around the tourist destinations and all that malarkey but I know nothing about areas to live. I'd be happy to spend a year or two down there but if anyone's got any advice on areas to live it would be more than handy.

 

Ta.

[brucespanner]

It's fucking awesome!

 

Do it.

[Red Banjo]

Everyone should relocate at some point for a sustained period. Just to experience something else.

 

It may even make you more fond of home if its shit.

 

I see no downside to it personally. Unless its shit, in which case go somewhere else or go home.

[brucespanner]

Where will you be based Lurtz?

 

Because travelling about at rush hour can be a cunt.

Has your arch nemesis had you shipped out?

[Redder Lurtz]

The office is about a 10 minute walk from Shoreditch High Street.

 

I'd probably enjoy it, I was brought up in Kent, only left when I was 19 so I talk like one of them. I don't really know where "home" is these days. I've lived all over West Yorkshire over the last 12 years, lived in Hull and Grimsby too. My folks and sister are in Devon so the world's my oyster really. Plus I've about had my fill of mental Yorkshire women. Could do with a change...

This. 100%.

Shoreditch is full of cunts, but a lot of fun, close to Liverpool St station which is good for getting anywhere.

 

You could look at Greenwich, a little further out, but less cunts, or southwark if you're looking to be closer to the centre?

[Bjornebye]

where in kent again redder?

 

yeah you should definately do it

[Rico1304]

I'd agree, did 97-2000 down South, living in Staines then Richmond. Fucking dear but fucking brilliant.

[cloggypop]

Darren must be one scary fucker.

I relocated to live about 50miles outside London a few years ago but spend a couple days a week in the big city and I depends if you're looking to move to a busy city with lots going on each night it'll be right up your street.

 

I couldn't live in London though (especially Shoredich with Bruce has put, is quite full of cunts-hipster ones too)

 

Too many cunts in the other districts for my liking also. I'm actually on a train home from the place now and I feel 70% less stressed five minutes after pulling out of Waterloo.

 

I consider myself a calm, easy going person but when I'm here I turn into an angry fucker who wants to punch most people on the street/tube as the majority are unthoughtfull, rude bastards.

 

Full of Cunts, but can be good if you're in a band/like going to watch live music as there's plenty of choice. For the person who comes here for the social life in the capital I guess it can be quite good-as long as you don't mind being surrounded by massive cunts.

[Redder Lurtz]

I was brought up in Medway Stig.

 

You're in Greenwich aren't you Bruce?

[Redder Lurtz]

Kinell - a grand a month for a small 2 bed flat in Greenwich. Fuckers. Early days with this idea but the package would have to be right - I'll be paying almost £7k a year more rent than I do now.

[stringvest]

Greenwich is better to visit than to live in. You'd do better looking for something nearer town. You'll find something within two miles of shoreditch if you look. You should ask for help with your rent if its a relocate.

 

As everyone knows though, in london northwest is best. Not cheap though.

defo. i'd love to live in notting hill, just off portobello road. love it round there.

 

redderz mate do it. if anything, it will lessen the chances of you getting bummed by Darren. the fucking prick. I hate him.

[Phoenix]

Its very expensive but good fun. Rent is a killer. Do it if you can afford it.

[RJ Fan club]

There's no cheap way around rent and transport. Both are horrendous in the South East.

 

If I was looking at dat der London, which I wouldn't now I'm happy near the Sussex coast; I reckon I'd be looking at Clapham, Balham or Wimbledon. If I had the cash maybe Stoke Newington, Camden or Hampstead.

 

Obviously there's loads of places though, had a birds in Putney and Richmond for a while, liked it round there too.

 

Also had a one night stands with a few girls and spent the night/weekend, one lived in a smart gaff in St Catherine's Dock and the other in the Barbican. Boss times in the early 2000's. Mucky boss times.

RL,

 

Stay where you are mate

 

Moving to new places, meeting new people, developing friendships and relationships isn't really your forte.

Nope, I'm in Maida Vale, just around the corner from Notting Hill.

 

Expensive as fuck, but awesome!

Nice.

[brucespanner]

Nice.

 

Yeah, it's pretty awesome in these parts.

 

You would not believe me if I told you the rest...

[Lee909]

If you do move your best moving to just outside the city IMO.Look for places that have underground links but are not actually london.

[Barrington Womble]

Working there I would look for somewhere near highbury and islington tube. It's a few mins on London Overground to shoreditch, but H&I is a good area to live, but also great for getting to other places. I'm a couple of miles up the road near finsbury park during the week and head home each weekend.

This is terrible advice.
