Our aim is to help you find the perfect home in the cosmopolitan and vibrant London. Home to people of more than 270 nationalities and with over 300 languages spoken, London is one of the most diverse cities in the world.
Why living in London?
People from all over the world move to London to work, sometimes in highly specialised or qualified jobs that are not available elsewhere, to join a prestigious UK University or simply to learn about new cultures and improve their knowledge of the English language.
Also known as ´The city that never sleeps´ there is always something to do in this buzzing and vibrant place. Living in London, there is almost no interest you cannot pursue. Located at the centre of the world on the prime meridian separating east from west, it is easy to travel from London to almost anywhere on the planet.
The economy of London is significantly (but not exclusively) focused around finance and financial services, with other thriving sectors including real estate, art, media, the creative industries, accountancy, legal and consultancy.
What are London's neighbourhoods like?
It has both quiet and buzzing neighbourhoods so depending on your lifestyle, you can choose to live in areas with numerous shopping options, buzzing nightlife, bars and pubs and art galleries or greener areas, where you can be closer to nature and see your children having fun in one of the many open spaces the city offers you. There are so many parks and open spaces in London, that almost every neighbourhood has a public park where people can practice sports outside or just sit and relax enjoying the sunset. Another thing you will definitely find in any borough of London is a traditional pub, which is an inherent part of British culture where many socialise.
In order to help with your property rental or sale decisions, we have prepared a set of useful area guides about each region of London. Those guides include a wealth of information about crime statistics, characteristics of the properties available in each area, schools, landmarks, transport, affordability, lifestyle, air quality, celebrities and much more so that you can identify the best place to live in London based upon your own criteria.
Relocating to London?
London boroughs have very different characteristics, so it is worth doing some research on the area before choosing a place to live. Before you relocate to London, take some time to understand and explore the neighbourhood so you can make the most of your time in the city.
Deciding where to live can be one of the most important decisions of your life and it is one decision that may last for many years, especially if you are considering buying a new home. If you are planning to find a new job or enter education in London, make sure you rent or buy a property that you can afford in a location that is close enough to your workplace or university. London is a very large metropolitan city with over 9 million people and some commutes can take up to 2 hours.
Whether you are looking for short term accommodation or you are relocating permanently, finding out about the area beforehand can prevent unpleasant surprises and help you to make a more informed property decision.
