Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

I loved Fitzroy Avenue although it is in the holylands but isn’t as rough as streets like agincourt or Jerusalem. The bottom end of Fitzroy is getting more grim as the years pass but nothing to be done there.

Lived on the Cliftonville road, not the greatest area but close to town & buses every 5 minutes to handy

The local area was really great with amazing neighbours. Would have given it a 10/10, however a troubled kids home opened up at the end of our street and they ended up taking drugs in our garden and causing all sorts of havok.

Fairly quiet street as it’s a dead end almost. Good busses and okay shops near by, not too close to a supermarket though.

Amazing neighbourhood and a lovely location to live - just not at this address! Would highly recommend Henley as a place to live

close to queens, and may shops including tesco, co-op and centra and takeaways, bars and cafes. Neighbors are noisy and church bells wake you up on Sundays.

5 min walk to shops good bus links and local to train station and schools
Parking good no restrictions

Loud at night but a nice community feel. Lots of students living around us which made you feel safer.

5 minutes to bus stops. Norwood junction is also nearby, 10 minute walk. Quiet neighbourhood, but streets needs some cleaning from time to time.

Despite this being in the town centre, it is quiet at night after shops close. Beware though, there is a 24 hour gym opposite the flat - there entry alert sound is always on and it sounds like a microwave everyone someone enters!
Also, members park in your allocated parking spot.
I had my car stolen here and witnessed a female being violated by a group of men, drugs sales, and other illegal activity.
No police investigation was ever taken seriously and the landlord said this was a civil matter
