Question

My son is moving to work in London, he has a house share in Tooting Broadway, just wondering what it's like, crime, entertainment, cost of living etc.

Answer 1

Yeah, it's cheap there, but there's a lot of crime, especially near the market. There's lots of gang and teenagers hanging around at night. But in some places it is quite.

There are lots of cheap stuff to buy, clothes, foods, electronics, etc.

Answer 2

Its fairly cheap compared to most of london and the night life is good but theres alot of crime - mainly gang crime

Answer 3

Yes my mate lives there. It is a rough old place, cheap but you are on the northern line which takes you straight into central london. Also Balham/Clapham next door a really buzzing places bars restaurants etc.
