Posted by in Guides, on May 8, 2015

Oh, well, if you are moving to London but you have still not decided where exactly in the metropolis you would like to set up your home in, no matter whether you are buying a property or just renting, you may very easily feel overwhelmed by the possibilities spread out in front of you.

On one hand, your new home should be located at a comfortable distance from work/the university you are attending, and offer good transport links, preferably by tube. On the other hand, you would not want to live in a dull place where life is neither exciting nor particularly interesting. In order to help you find the balance and provide you with an opportunity to start looking for professional movers operating in your area of choice quicker, we present you a list of the five trendiest districts in London now:

  • Stoke-NewingtonStoke Newington is a place you should definitely check out. The only con is that there is no nearby Tube station, but the problem is nicely resolved by the large amount of buses and the train station of Liverpool Road nearby which provide you with a comfortable access to all the important place in the rest of the capital. Stoke Newington used to be a center of the counter-culture in the second half of the 20th century, and the rebellious atmosphere is still to be sensed in the district. If you are young, full of energy and willing go live against the grind, Stoke Newington is definitely the place for you.
  • Highgate is near the City. It is located in such a place that here you will have the chance to enjoy some of the best panoramic views of London you can imagine. The community is strong, has a high spirit and you can easily sense that people in Highgate are different from people in the rest of London. Living here can be truly inspiring.
  • Dulwich Village is usually flocked by tourists, thanks to the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which, surprise, surprise, is England’s first public picture gallery. Dulwich Park is just across the street, and it is one of the most beautiful and best kept open green spaces in the capital. Dulwich Village is so vibrant and full of life that it is hardly a village in the conventional sense anymore. But it is also one of the best places to live in London.
  • Chelsea. There is no need to go into detail about why Chelsea is somewhere you would want to live. It used to be classy and trendy for decades, it is still so, and will continue to be in the years to come.
  • Richmond has a breathtaking panoramic view of the Thames, vibrant riverfront area, extensive parklands spreading at 2500 acres and more, as well as hands down the most beautiful residential and public architecture in London. All of this, combined with the more than excellent location, makes it one of the best places to live in London today.
