Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in London

The building itself was an odd, 50/50 mix of perfectly nice people and anti-social reprobates which meant we were frequently disturbed by loud parties, domestic disputes and the occasional police raid. In fairness, the company managing the property were fairly helpful in dealing with anti-social tenants but as soon as such one group was evicted another would take their place. The neighbourhood was of a similar character and their would often be incidents of petty crime, anti-social behaviour and even gang-fights and fatal stabbings in the immediate vicinity. Indeed, I was once woken up at 4am on a Tuesday by the sound of 6 large men having a melee immediately outside our bedroom window.

Good neighbourhood, have to travel slightly to get to bars / nightlife. Well connected for transport, with tube 2 mins away. Lots of supermarkets and a market down the road

Relatively good Neighbourhood and close to nearby shopping and transport. Very close to central london as well.

Great location. Very close to Herne Hill and North Dulwich. Quiet street, good shops and restaurants nearby.

Herne Hill is nice and the flat is very close to the station. Unfortunately it's by a busy road so very loud at all hours and the window rattle when anything drives past.

There are also some very loud neighbours of questionable character, though obviously that's not something the landlord can do much about.

It’s an okay area to live in, I just would never recommend renting with SP Property. Ever.

Neighbourhood ok. Neighbours INSANE. Never lived anywhere where your general wellbeing is of absolutely no consequence.

A nice area, street is quite noisy with sirens as just around the corner from the hospital, and is relatively close to he World's End Estate unfortunately.

Nice area, mostly nice neighbours. Lots of students in the area. One nose neighbour over the road. Will watch you from her window.

The neighbourhood is ok. It's quiet and close to the train station. There is a local M&S within 2 minutes walking distance.
